- the way I'm approaching my sketchbook is not too rushed - spending enough time on the pages to make the images feel more complete.
- still rough - but more developed than scamps - think this is a good balance. - for me a more refined image allows me to see bigger potential - get more invested.
- use of ink is encouraging me to use bold confident mark making too. - instead of being too neat with pencil. - think the use of both bold lines, and faded washes work really well to express the themes i am exploring.
- continuing with ink - appropriate to theme - allowing me to create imagery quite quickly - but provide detail at the same time, - media helps convey atmosphere
- continue to explore other media, but as final imagery will be created in print process - not too important - more important at this stage is the content, and concepts.
- Want the finals to have a similar spooky dark theme as these - considering using monochrome.
like textures i have used - perhaps mono print would be best suited? - process looks interesting but quite confusing!
The secret History is what my work keeps evolving around. As part of my research, I read the novel and was thoroughly drawn into it. I found it gripping! and thats what aspect of her i find the most inspiring. Its also interesting that a lot of Donna Tartt is present within her infamous novel. - she went to school at New Hampshire college interment which is where the books set, - you can tell as her descriptions are so rich - feel her passion for the place. Its also said that some of her characters are based upon college friends. I feel like her personality comes through the book at times.
- I dont want to narrow down my focus at all, but I feel that i am mostly going to continue with exploring themes within the book as these are areas that i feel most connected to. - themes that include - loneliness, isolation, guilt, feeling trapped.. etc.
- I found that these themes have drawn my interest and because of my positive feedback I believe others will feel the same - so hopefully it will lead to me producing a series of really engaging prints.
