Study Task 1

The most important lessons that I learned last year were that process is important as apposed to making the final straight away as well as the importance of excessive drafting and getting away from that obvious first idea.

This year I want to do more bookbinding and to learn to construct a good negative for screen print. I also want to start putting myself out there more and start building a contact list.

My strengths lie in research and finding out interesting things about my subject as well as working with mixed media but I need to stop getting so lost in my concepts and start trying to resolve my ideas visually.

I keep up to date with the world of illustration and get visually inspired by Instagram. An illustrator that I relate well to is George Butler because like me he felt like a Fine Artist on an illustration degree who struggled to design scenes and characters. I appreciate how he stuck to what he loved and applied his skills to a more niche area of illustration to create some beautiful, powerful images.
