Weekly Update 2 01/02/2016 - 05/02/2016
This week, I spent time reviewing old work and reflecting on previous endeavors to create illustrations, It is a helpful thing to do now and then to see my progress, it gives me drive to improve further seeing the improvements gradually increase in quality over time.
S.W.O.T analysts of this:
Strengths:
Able to see progression in an obvious way that generates drive and motivation, knowing what you would do instead a second time is very comforting and helps improve over time.
Weaknesses:
Sometimes I remember old work that I can no longer find, this disheartens me wishing I kept my self better organised at the beginning of my education, having the very first few pieces I had created would be a great thing to have for the future so the scale of advancement would be greater.
Opportunities:
I sometimes like to re-create old pieces and allow myself to see how far I have advanced, sometimes this doesn't work our so well, but most of the time it is a definite improvement, this will help me build my portfolio for future job applications and perhaps even events/competitions that involve the subject matter of the art.
Threats:
Equipment breaking not allowing me to continue this workflow can be very annoying, replacement drawing pads, USB's that cost money Files and bits of paper getting lost, these can all be avoided now in the future but in the past I have been known not to be so passionate for organisational skills, I feel like I have improved with this over the last few months.
A piece of art I have been working on this week using the above workflow:
This was originally done as a piece of portfolio work for my interview to get onto my Foundation Degree course, I use the tower and the overgrown plant to lead the viewers eye around the image, the flat edge of the tower stunts the viewers vision for a second so they look at it more then most objects, this is also another reason why the tower so so highly detailed in comparison to the rest of the area.
This is not intend as a piece of art, but as a show of understanding of eye-leading technique.
My Target for next week will be to create some concept art that is presentable for my Alternative Techniques Module, it has to be presentable enough for my peers to enjoy/ gain critical information from.
This is what I have done this week, just a quick brief idea sketch for some of the pieces.
