For our last project in fundamentals we had been given lyrics from a song “vile stuff” with this song I was given the lyrics “my bedroom walls are papered with the stripes of Newcastle united between which I perceive the presence of a horse headed figure” with these lyrics I had the exact idea in my mind what to do but couldn’t quite grasp how to create the image so I played around a bit on the cintiq figuring out composition and lighting, it took a while but I was really happy with the outcome, its very different to the usual stuff I draw but even so I find it worked well, I liked the project and trying something new. I find my piece became successful with the way I used the black textured brush, I find it makes the image look like a lino cut which I find pleasing. If I could change anything within my work id change the proportions and positions of the bed as well as the lighting, if find in doing this it could have a stronger finished outcome.

As a final big project of this term we were given the project of creating our own zines, I was excited for this project because this is the stuff I liked, so I decided to do some sketches and ideas for the project I was looking into a story maybe for a character but while I was doing the ideas I thought of the idea to do different witches for each page then have a second page which showed what they did during the day or morning of their life, I thought this would be a cute fun idea so I went thought and did some sketches and I tried it out on the double page spread, I thought it was going to work out really well with how my ideas and sketches were turning out. With these being my only sketches for the project I regret not exploring further ideas and further sketches just to the simple fact I wasn’t happy with my over all finished zine.

The narratives above are two different projects, the first one in purple is a series of illustrations we did in a restricted time frame for random words we had wrote down, as well as this we created a series of narrative shorts on the next page (I do not have a picture of this page the pencil is too light) but we basically was given a narrative idea and a camera angle, so we could interpretate it in anyway we wanted but we have to stick to the story and angle, the images came out successfully my only downfall was using a light pencil which in turn faded and doesn’t show up as much as it did. For my other illustrations on here we were all given a task to do within two weeks, unfortunately I had missed the lesson we were given this and in turn had very limited time to do the project (a week). The project was create a narrative of 8 illustrations going from one picture to another, I was given a swan and a ruined wood land so with this I created many sketches exploring different ideas of a narnia type story all the way to a queen corgi army story, which I ended up going with.

So from my last class project we were given a brief to create an idiom of our own in a style we want to work in. so with this it took me a while to find a decent idiom that I know as well as other people, so I finally came up with “to steal somebodies thunder” I thought this would be a good idiom to use for my illustration. With working on this idiom I sketched out a variety of different ideas and compositions to go with the image before settling with my final image, it took me a while to create the image because of the different ideas, I didn’t know whether to make it look like they were children in a play or to make it look like a character was stealing from Zeus, I finally went with my second ide which I think turned out really well, the image was communicating the idiom clearly as well as looking cute and innocent while not being cute and innocent at the same time, I find it worked well, in future ill try make my characters look less stiff in their positions.

For this image we had a class challenge of creating an idiom from which we was given at random to create using paper within a hour, I was given the idiom “basket case” with this I thought it would be pretty simple to do the idea of a case file being dramatic within a basket struck my interest and so with this I did sketches and found the sketches to be quite successful. With going and thinking though this I should have thought how other people would have seen or thought of the work since not everybody would have thought of a case file or know what one is. Therefore I went through with my original plan and I thought it came out pretty well with the character working out well in the image, the issue was when it came to distinguishing what the character was for the idiom. With people not being able to tell what the character was it made it harder for them to guess the idiom, so in future from this experience I know to go the simpler rout that everybody would understand instead of one that I think would work.
