I have a ton of ideas that I want to get down on paper, but I sometimes get frustrated because I feel like I can't do them until i've refined my style.
So after Jonathan Edwards talk and advice, as well as feeling very inspired during this creative futures week, I decided to just put pencil to paper and draw, whilst thinking about my style. I know that I want to work in print, I usually work quite graphically, using various lines, weights and mark making techniques. I know what I want to do with print but I need to get my drawing stylised first in order to take it through print. I thought back to an exercise that my lecturer told me about not so long ago. He gave me a website, one that is made up of vintage photo's and he looks at the picture, finds particularly interesting people and draws them. I can't remember what exact website he gave me but stumbled upon my own in the form of Retronaut!
Give it a go, you will definitely find some characters!
Normal programming will resume shortly: Up next - Martin Steenton of Blank Slate publishing.
