I still can’t sleep because of my heavy cough, I’ve tried everything but the only thing that worked so far is grog, and as I seldom drink alcohol the side-effects are pretty strong (I was forced to drink one – the only one so far – before attending class tonight coz’ my cough wouldn’t stop and was so strong that I couldn’t do anything and I would have disturbed my fellow students a great deal. I was slightly drunk as a result, luckily for me it did n0t last). So as you can see, I can’t have another one now. So instead of going round in circles in my room or staring at the ceiling, waiting hopelessly for my cough to stop, I’m taking advantage of my insomnia and am working on my maturiy work. A good thing, since we have a working session with our supervising teacher tomorrow night.
I’m still experimenting with my wacom tablet, and I must say I don’t have a clue on how to proceed so I just improvised and see how it goes. I still don’t know if my finished work will be digital work or if I’ll use digital pics as drafts to re-paint/draw them later with traditional medias.
Please be indulgent, as I said it’s only a draft. If you have some advice I’ll happily take them though. If you can’t see what it is: it’s a night class taking place in a clearing. The teacher is an owl, and the students will probably be goblins of some sorts. I might add a character on the edge of the clearing, lamenting coz’ as a non-student, he finds himself all alone. By the way, the theme of my work is “studying at night/in the evening” (don’t know how you say it in English).

Looks good so far. In English we’d probably say ‘night classes’ btw.
I think once you get the glow from the lamps and perhaps ‘pools’ of light over the teacher and students it should look really good.
Don’t forget to show the finished picture, good luck with it too.
Hope your cough gets better soon, I know how annoying it can be.
Hey I forgot to comment on your drawing!
I really like it, the idea and everything. It looks great =)
You’ll show me what you do next, I hope.
See ya!
