First of all started by doing though my sketchbook pages and putting all the images I wanted to use together (using Adobe Libraries – I could keep all these images together and quickly use when needed them)
I am also choosing do do this digitally, one thing I am very mindful of waste / ink cost / due to trying to be more environment conscious with my work (such as started using more environmentally friendly papers – making my own paper out of waste – funding trees being planted)
I printed a few bits to play with in my sketchbook – but the main chuck of this is done digitally and printed ready for the next exercise.
Just looking at the above, I started to place together some possible images.
The first being…
I could also see this
Just the above I already had an idea how I wanted to do these two in the next exercise constructing a visual diary, would need to test if would work however. I think I may have to make two “visual Diaries” this one would have both my son and my daughter on different “sides”
I would need to figure out if I need words in this or not. (so had a little play) – As below
While creating the “daughter and bird images” I untentially copied and filled (misclick) but it created quite an interesting effect (may have some use to use as a matter in the future)
I went of track a few times and had a bit of a play and fun with my illustraions.
Who is the real virus
The irony of people wearing mask to keep themselves save while polluting our Earth!
Illustration merged – A doodle page in my sketchbook and the “pattern” from assignment four”.
Back to school
Merge images from my narrative exercise, assignment 4 pattern again (x2)
Child in the balloon 2020
This one may sum up the mood with children, while trapped in bubbles / balloons in the the world we live in to stay safe.
Symbol of both innocence and being alone in 2020, just wanting to float away in the sky…
Merged – Personal sketchbook piece and intro for the last assignment (that I drew on a post it note)
I think my collection is very much building around my children, Covid-19 and my “voice”.
All things that are currently pretty much my everyday.
My Art supplies
Using a picture I did in my sketchbook (think was blind contour or one line) and paired the illustration with the doodle I did later on for a doodle which was inspired by this.
I admit I prefer doing this digitally, not only do I not “waste” material / print cost I have more freedom to slot thing together, able to make it work better together, adjust colours in the background so can make the “foreground” stand out better (such as my feedback for assignment one)
But this did not stop me from having a little madness/fun in my sketchbook (below)
Plus have plans to use to add a lot together in the next exercise.
