Dominicque's Sketchbook

[Dominicque]

Long time; no update. After four years my undergrad career has finally draw to a close. Felt like a whimper, not being able to go abroad or even start a dissertation. Like what. Two big uni-planned-years-beforehand just never panned out, so that was a mighty (and at times) upsetting disappointment. However, I did get a 2:1, which I'm very relieved about. Just trying to figure life out post-uni. Completed an internship where I drew a company. They left people with learning difficulties get jobs.  I'll be posting some of the work that I scanned, they have all the rest now.

But, first, I tried to traditionally colour a version of the flowing water girl. Umm, it didn't come out the way I wanted. Still have no clue about the whole paint thing. But, I tried. Believe I added details with coloured pencil, because the image was just disappearing. Deffo a different feel from the pencil version. 



This was a good chance for me to get more accustomed with coloured pencil. Still working out blending and how to get the graininess of the paper that comes through. I was really rejuvenated to do this project after volunteering at Birmingham Design Festival and get to hear professional illustrators speak about their projects and workflow.
