Visual Language: 24th - 30th October 2016

This week I continued to work on my 24 drawings task.

I was struggling quite a lot to get really motivated. I couldn't really think of many ideas for different rockets or methods. I haven't really been liking this little project for this reason, but then that has been making it even harder to actually do it. I think it is also harder for me because I am so excited to do the new animation skills task and I have so many ideas that I just want to do that. I've been trying to make myself finish this before I make a start on that though.

I felt that I had really run out of ideas. It wasn't helped by the fact that I had been doing all my drawings up until this point at the wrong size. I had been using a very small sketchbook as I thought that was what was said in the briefing. I had gotten confused and was going off of something else that was said and the brief did in fact say that they should be done in A4. So because of this, I redrew all of the prior rockets into an A4 sketchbook. I can make sure that this kind of thing doesn't happen again by thoroughly reading the brief again and asking questions to make sure I am totally clear on what to do. 

It was a really hard slog to make myself finish this off as I really wasn't enjoying it. I am happy with some of the pieces that I have made throughout this series of drawings but all in all it's been a struggle for me. I have just been really wanting to move on from it.

I like the idea of the new environments briefing. I am excited to start drawing places using perspective points. This will be a very useful thing for me because I am not confident with creating backgrounds so I really hope to improve through this. I am not sure yet where I will draw but hopefully I will make a start on this task soon.
