Hey, I’m Gabbi and I’m a self-taught hand drawn illustrator.
Most of my illustrations consist of nature drawings such as mountains, trees and anything relating to nature. The technique I use the most is stippling which I found illustrations online and that inspired me to do my own illustrations. I work part-time in a printing shop where I design t-shirts, gift ideas, photo printing.
My next step with my illustrations is to print my own t-shirts with my designs on them and hopefully, in the future, I could sell them. I would also love to be able to do commissions for people who like my illustrations.

WriterMIND mental health charity
- Southampton, United KingdomFreelance
Mind charity had advertised for some writers to review a selection of pieces that had been written by people who have experienced mental health issues such as Anti-Depressants and Depression and other mental health related issues. I applied to review the writing as I have experience with reviewing music at this current time and got the position, this was a one time job. I had looked at the booklet of information regarding Anti-depressants and Depression and made notes that were constructive and explained why parts were good. I also gave my personal experience with this topic.
For the reviewing I did I was paid £25 and the booklet was posted online.
