For this brief we were given the task of keeping a sketchbook. This is so we can keep a general bank of visual inspiration. It is to be used as a visual diary to feed our future ideas and to also improve our general drawing skills and experiment with new materials and techniques. I really like the fact that we are being made to keep a sketchbook (or sketchbooks), as I feel it will help me to keep up with my drawing practice, particularly with me working on computers. A lot.
A lot of the drawings I have done so far have been observational, as I tend to draw mostly when commuting from uni to home (yes I am the creepy girl who sits there staring at you on your journey home). Although it takes me way out of my comfort zone to sit and watch people and then draw them without them noticing (which is difficult when your staring by the way) I'm really glad that I have to force myself into this situation, as it means I am limited to the amount of time I have to draw the person I have chosen. Whilst it is really frustrating that none of my drawings ever seem to really get finished, I feel that I am very slowly getting quicker at drawing and my line work is getting stronger, as I am becoming more confident in my own skill.
So far I've done a few pages and here they are. I'll keep you updated every now and then on my progress.
