It is helping me to slowly develop my work and helps me in understanding how to put images together that people can relate to, find funny and me comforted by.
Here are a few bits, which I have been doing and have found that I have developed new ideas from:
Really enjoying this idea of inverting images, gives the image a completely different feel, this is something I could work on to learn how to give people a feeling of comfort, then conversely using techniques likes inverting images and manipulating them even more with colours to create an uncomfortable feeling. Such as the embarrassing moments which I want to capture in my books throughout a woman's' life.
I've been experiencing with-drawal symptoms from not creating any pattern recently, so I had a little play around with some rough Ideas to develop patterns...although I haven't had much feedback on the coloured ones. I've been enjoying painting patterns and then putting one singular image over the top, thus just creating patterned backgrounds for images, which I will continue to do.
I've been trying to practice this idea of narrative and making a series of images, putting them together to be understood. Been playing around with these painting I did. Not great, but it's a start...
Finally, I've been working straight onto coloured card and papers to introduce colour slowly to my work, as I'm not confident with colour at all. Working on paper, instead of a sketchbook gives you so much more freedom and doesn't feel as pressured. From research and from working on papers, I want to start collecting bits of interesting paper to work on, as I'm just as interested in texture as I am my drawings! Here are a couple...
However I feel that I might just start putting tiny sketchbook bits up there, which aren't put through photoshop yet, this gives people the chance to see it from sketchbook to final images and I think it's important for me look at how I work and how things come together, to teach myself!
