Research Task 4:0 Visual Diaries

Mydanwy Tristram @Mockduck, from Brighton (UK) creator of Comics and Graphic Memoirs. First of all I pulled up Mydanwy’s Website https://myfanwytristram.com/category/sketch-diary/ I started to look though her work, oldest first to the newest as I wanted to see how she grows within her visual diaries. I really enjoyed reading her visual diaries, finding humour inContinue reading “Research Task 4:0 Visual Diaries”

Assignment three: Illustrative people and places

COVID-19 – July 2020 I wasn’t sure what I was doing for this assignment, or even where to visit and sketch.

Exercise 3:5 Free Association

The Art of doodling. I honestly miss doodling, do not get me wrong I do still doodle, but, what I’m talking about is the long mindless doodles that I would do in class at school, or meeting at work, normally on lined paper with limited space. Not long ago I got a book called “SketchingContinue reading “Exercise 3:5 Free Association”

Research task 3.5: visual research

I am a great admirer of Pam Smy from her sketchbooks, I first came across her work while reading I think it was “Illustrating Children’s Books: Creating Pictures for Publication” and had made a note to make her an illustrator of interest, for my own studies.

For this SCAMPER objectives I wanted to recreate, merge a couple of images in my sketchbook that I felt had a lot more to give and theirContinue reading “Exercise 3.4 Interpretation and Communication; suppose we make it different?”

Research task 3:4 Creating your own version of reality

I went to http://www.book-by-its-cover.com/sketchbooks, I had such fun looking though all the sketchbooks and making mini notes (As below) in my own sketchbook. The main conclusion was I “miss doodling”, I do still doodle, more so when stuck for ideas. But the kind of mindlessly doodling such when I was at school in class asContinue reading “Research task 3:4 Creating your own version of reality”
