'Your beauty is beyond compare...'

Two more pages from my sketchbook, like I said in my previous post I have been keeping my pages simple and here focused on exploring with different materials and composition.

'I remember every word you said...'

So here are some pages from my sketchbook for 'The Sketchbook Project'. My chosen theme was 'Travel with me' and I explored my wanderlust and dreams of going back to Paris again.

I like doing quite simple, quick drawings using fine liner and that's what I did in the above pages. I kept the sketchbook pages very simple, not over crowding them with information.

'My heart remains the same...'

'Thousands of sketchbooks will be exhibited at galleries and museums as they make their way on tour across the world.'

So a while ago I entered 'The Sketchbook Project' and I've only just got round to doing some work in it.

The Sketchbook Project is a great way for your work to get seen, I recommend you check out their website and I will get some images of my work up soon!

'So pretty, so smart, such a waste of a young heart...'

The result of me being slightly bored and yet feeling creative. I have been playing with fabrics making the most simple rosettes, I think the top one with the book page ribbons is my favourite and may make more. I can see them being framed or being on cards - the book pages could be personalized.

'The kiss of the snow...'

So after completeing my digital project I feel inspired to use photoshop and illustrator more. After having a play here is some stuff I came up with.

'Still we sing...'

I had to create 10 final images for my digital project. Here are a few -

Three for a girl.

Seven for a secret never to be told.

Eight for a wish.

Ten for a bird you must not miss.

'What other thieving bird would steal such hope away...'

So it is the last term of first year and we are doing a digital project with a very open brief. I am quite excited about it we're having Photoshop and Illustrator workshops both of which I have little knowledge of.

So the title was 'Skin' and taking that in it's broadest sense I have begun looking at magpies, their feathers as a skin and the superstition that surrounds them as a skin as well.

Here are some of my initial sketchbook pages for this project.
