creative site with regular updates and ways to get involved.
get some publicity through the press in some way.
chain mail of work, sent everywhere to gain maximum views.

darrent drawing workshop

so at first i was a bit skeptical but at the end of the session i was converted. drawing with the wring hand and with out looking DOSE create some lovely imagery.




so in reverse. this was mt final image, 'drawing with paper' and then drawing details without looking at the paper. the things i like about this image is the freedom and craft look , the contrasting paper creates a crisp clean look and the fussy messy pencil mixes well with this. i would however quite like to go back over the drawing with a pen and able to actually look at what im doing.



this was my second to last image. drawing with the wrong hand and not looking, with text over the top. ( i cant spell anyway but not being able to see what im doing seams to increase this problem). i think the main thing that makes there images work is that the subject, text and drawing style all tie neatly together , there all young and playful.



this was my first drawing. a normal style of drawing were by looking at the paper and using my right hand. then when i was told not to look at the paper and to use the wrong hand i thought the out come would b horrid and i came to the lesson to create 'better' drawings after all. but the looking and comparing my first drawing with the last i would completely agree.

the first drawing is stiff and the expression and feel of the character is a bit unsure and uptight, just like my drawing style.
in comparison to my final two images which show much more playful and happy characteristics.

a very insightful lesson.


and here was my muse, Robby the robot.
i hope to make him famous my creating some screen prints.

There images show my paper craft people that were made for my magazine campaign.

the images were meant to be striking and simple with a craftelement which would very simply introduce the idea of a new magazine coming out in the future. as a sort of taster of whats to come. I am pleased with the outcome.


I think they are strong images. if i was to be very critical i would say that after doing my research this is not the typical genre of imagery used to appeal to the 50-65 ages, however new is always good. why copy existing styles when im trying to be new and innovative.
