What Introduces Me In My New Sketchbook....









Yer.. That's right.. I decided to do some typography cut outs for my first page. Totally regretting it now. Although it looks good and I'm really proud of it, its a little annoying and I had to buy a "Soft Grip"Craft Knife because when I was using a plastic one I ended up with a numb finger tip from where I had been holding the craft knife for so long.. I WILL finish it.. Eventually.

Urghhhh D:

I have so much to post on here that if i done it all in one session I think ill be here till the morning... I shall post until I'm tired.

So, 

I now have another sketchbook becuase my first one was too small for me to work in. 

However because its bigger, if ofcourse means everything takes twice as long, which in my case is never good. 

Although, even though its taken me twice as long, I'm actually really happy with the work I'm producing and genuinely enjoying the course.

The briefs are coming along in different stages,
The City book is coming along really well at the moment, the group is coming together and our ideas are collaberating together really well too. 

The City Poster is having its moments.. I'm so indecisive that I keep changing my mind.. I started by playing around with text and got bored. 

But I came across a artist/designer that I really like : Edward Bawden, ill probably post more about him. Anyway, hes put me on a whole knew track for my city poster. 

The sketchbook as I've said is steady..ish. Were supposed to do a page a day but because I am who I am my pages take like 3/4 nights. 

Participation has come to a hold but im planning on doing some cool cultural events this weekend. 

The written piece.... KILL ME NOW...

The pictures were taken on my Canon.

The Sketchbook

Whats in my sketchbook?


 This is a collage of cut outs I found in a magazine that i associated with leeds.
Strange I know but i think everywhere is when your left on your own in a city you've never really been to before.

  
We were asked to take a test that in a way explains who we are. My result was ESFJ and from about 130 people on my course around 8 of us had this result.

 This is an ouroboros, it was one of the things we were asked to draw at the start of term.


This is the view outside my window... Lovely. So this is what Leeds looks like to me. This is also the first drawing I've done in a long time that i didn't use a ruler and set square for..
