This week I finished my rocket task. This was difficult for me to finish. I found it incredibly hard to find the motivation to finish all 24 drawings and then the next 12 and storyboard.
I am proud of my work on the 12 final pieces as I could then refine them into doing something that I actually enjoy doing, therefore creating better work. I do feel that these vector art rockets are much better than any of the other rockets I created. I started messing about with more simplistic vector art using silhouettes and I feel that these worked quite well. I really like the look of these.
I am always happier with what I can create on computer over anything practical. This is obviously something that I do want to work on but mostly, my proudest work is done on computer. Also work that I simply enjoy doing more, and I think it's very important to enjoy what you do otherwise what is the point? I do need to work more traditionally more often in order to keep building my skills.
Overall, I have to say that I didn't really enjoy this task. I found it incredibly tedious and I just couldn't get motivated to do it. I am happy with some of the later rockets I made but I am still very pleased that we are now moving on from this. I do understand why it was useful and why we did it. It was a tricky exercise that has worked to make me really think about how one word can be interpreted so differently.
