iPhone 4/4s Cases.

Today I have set up a pre-order for two different phone cases, both of which have drawings by myself on. The drawings I have chosen are the dotwork fox skull, and the digital sheep skull and floral drawing. Each phone case will be £15, and will be posted at the end of Febuary 2014. You can find both of the cases on my easy store here.

Observational drawing at the UEA (University of East Anglia).

For today's workshop, we made our way to the UEA. Here we were asked to make 13 different drawings of around the buildings, the things inside the buildings, the architecture, etc. These drawings had to be based around the texture of the thing, angular drawings and drawings which show distance. We were also asked not just too use ordinary everyday materials, this meant using pencil crayons, colour marker pens and so on. I went on to draw a multiple amount of things but these two were the ones that really surprised me with what I can do. The first is an image of a small vase of flowers on a table top with a chair behind, I did this piece to portray how the chair was in the distance and in the background. I used complimentary colours in this piece. The second piece is the view from behind a Rodger Moore sculpture, looking in on the sainsbury centre. This image is also meant to show distance.

Norwich University of the Arts.

Last week was my first week starting my illustration degree at Norwich University of the Arts. We have all been in workshops for most of the week and I have found myself becoming looser with my work and coming away from what I would normally stick to. I have even found myself enjoying the use of colour a lot more! Experimental mark making is the main object for the first term/10 weeks of my time at NUA, exploring different materials, ways of making marks, ways of drawing, different drawing tools and items you wouldn't normally think to draw with. 

This weeks workshop involved creating our own unique drawing tools made of bits and bobs from around the house. We were set six different types of tools to create with our items (single line tool, multiple line tool, a tool which will scratch away a surface/layer, a blocking out tool, a smudging tool, and a brush tool), then we had to complete different drawing tasks with each tool. I will upload images of what I created and what I have done with them, explaining what they are and how they work.
