Drawing to Music

Before the film workshop, we had a day of drawing to music. Geoff and Jim made a series of playlists, which they played whilst we drew. They were under different categories eg. angry, weepy, silly.

I drew over 60 pictures that day!

Scanner, consequesnt retrospective of last few months.

I have just acquired a scanner, which means I can put up some work! 

First up, a few months ago we did this awsome workshop in the studio where the tutors played us extracts from films, which we had to draw from. Here are some results. 

I found the drawing project the best project so far this year- having to draw quickly, all the time, and look at everything, was brilliant. One of the main things i'm trying to improve through my degree is my ability to draw out of my head, so exercises in studying images are pretty essential.

Procrastination

This evening instead of doing essay research or drawing for my animation I drew this, whilst Jazz, Polly and I watched something on telly with Michelle Roux Junior in it. Great!

Tote Bags

Before the holidays I was very busy down in fabric screen printing. I made 3 different bag designs, this Ludd Brown one is the only one i have a picture of so far. (see below). Also did one with 3 layers- a fox on a yellow circle, with 6 little foxes on the other side, and a 2 layer print of a 'To The Lighthouse' design I had been working on.  I sold some at a Christmas fair and then used lots to make hampers for my family- I filled the bag with jam, chutney, fudge and cherry brandy. Delicious.

This picture was taken by Rob our tutor in Budapest. Ludd Brown is my boss's dog.

Progress

I have been very behind on my work. Before the Christmas holidays begun I decided to animate a song my friend Polly and I wrote about Sigmund Freud. I made a storyboard, but still hadn't decided how I wanted the animation to look. It's less than a minute long, so detail isn't an impossible task, but I am unorganised and very behind. Currently trying out different ways of drawing Freud and seeing which would be most effective.
