What have I learnt in terms of professional practice?

Attendance and punctuality.

To look at a wider range of practitioner's work e.g. graphic design/surface pattern.

Where to look to find examples of illustration.

That illustration has a purpose and a context. 

The difference between drawing and making illustrations. 

Continually researching artists and illustrators work can inspire and inform your work subconsciously. 

To keep my workspace as organised as possible.
