So, I've been completely useless at updating my blog so far. I apologize to anyone unfortunate enough to come across it XD. Anyway, it's been a busy few months for me.
I've gotten a comic job for a very nice man in Scotland. So I'm working on a short story for an anthology with female main that I really like.

This was a concept I sent to him :D. I'm pretty pleased with it too.
Other than that, I've started university again, my fourth year at attempting to become a civil engineer. It's just as stressful as I remember it, but at least I don't have any re-exams yet.

My friend and I were invited to a dinner with Bioware Edmonton thanks to the comic we have been drawing for more than a year and a half, with fan comics of Bioware's games . The dinner was amazing and so were the people there!

We made some cosplays (which slowly and surely destroyed my will to live, no really!) and went skipping to Stockholm. We got to stay in an apartment that belonged to my uncle's friend. She has a cat named Findus. Findus was adorable, completely round and purred like a pidgeon. I really liked Findus XD.

Aside from all of that, Think Ink Studio, is having a grand exhibition with our art. It's going to be the BOMB! so you should totally come and check it out if you can!

Come and have a look! It'll make me overjoyed!

I've been really into colouring my sketches lately. It's rather rough but I think it's fun, just splashing some colours onto it :D

My original character, Devon Connor Sullivan. A very very unhappy man at the moment XD.

During the breaks at work I relax by drawing. Some of my coworkers find this amusing, others find it weird, but hey it's giving them something to talk about I suppose.

I've been working on a set of paintings for a small project I gave myself. I want to improve after all :D. Here's one of the pictures, it isn't entierly finished.

So now I've finished serieskolan D:. I'm a bit sad actually but also very grateful! It's been a great year an a wonderful learning experience. Thanks to all my classmates who made the year magical! <3
And I'd like to remind you all that reality can be scary so I give you this:

Enviroments

We had an assignment at the comic art school I'm attending, where we were supposed to write down everything we could think of about an enviroment and then draw it. There were a few questions to be answered, I didn't think it would help the drawing process, but actually it did. I am usually not one for drawing backgrounds, but this time it turned out to be really fun. :D

Sketches

Lately I've been working on a sketchfanzine that will be sold at the International comic festival in Stockholm. I though I'd share a page from it here :D

Reworking

I decided to rework an old piece of mine. I just changed minor things, but it was nice to work on something with a definite structure from the beginning and just edit :D.

Silly things

First and Fabulous

Finally I've decided to start a blog.
My name is Amanda Hakim and I'm an aspiring comic artist and engineering student. I am currently studying at the comic art school of Malmö, taking a break from my other studies to pursue my passion for drawing and creating worlds. I love trying to mix in science with fantastic mythological settings in the stories and worlds I create or simply just experiment with colors and whatnot.
In this blog I will try to showcase my work, but also update with things I find amusing or inspiring.
I hope that you will enjoy it!
