This is my first post for the year. I'm currently in the middle of working on the Summer Project. There seems to be a lot of freedom given with it, which was a little intimidating at first! but think i'm getting the hang of it.
These are a few drawings for the project, taken from the objects on the sheets given as part of the project. Some are silhouettes and some are just rough sketches. So far i have roughly an even amount of life forms, structures and machines. Next i'll work on picking a few ideas and detailing them a bit.

Hey there :) This is looking really good and clean! Im loving these but can I suggest numbering these? when a page is full with life (like these) its hard for people to point out which ones they like :) youll find if you number them people will point a few out they like which should help you out in your progress. Anyway, looking really good so keep it up!
ReplyDeleteHi Mike :) Ah i'll be sure to do that for the rest of the posts, thanks for the feedback!
DeleteHey Vikki,
ReplyDeleteIm Jake and I'm starting in September also. You summer project is looking nice and i like your style and take on the silhouettes especially a few in particular :) Look forward to meeting you soon :)
Hi Jake :) thank you for your feedback :) look forward to meeting you too, see you in september!
DeleteHeya. I like your style here, quite Gothic. I see a lot of evil scientist's laboratory gadgets particularly on page 2. Also on that second page is a silhouette of the two shoes. This makes me think of the home of a tribe that lives in the mountains.
ReplyDeleteIt's always good to post your own thoughts about your work. Doesn't need to be a lot, just gives your readers more of an idea of your creative process. :)
Good Luck
Sammy
Hi Sammy :) Yeah i quite like the shoe/bridge/mountainy idea at the moment. Ah yeah i'll try to post some more writing, thank you for your feedback :)
DeleteHi Vikki! Many thanks for your comment, your sketches are looking awesome, I especially like the second page downwards. Your shading techniques very original. Likewise its great to be talking to someone in the same position. See you soon :)
ReplyDeleteGreetings Vikki! You have some pretty good ideas here. The silhouettes have progressed beautifully. I can't wait to see more =) I look forward to seeing you around at University. My name is Le or Urvashi. You can choose either. I'll be in my 2nd year. I thought that I'd come say hello. So, Hello =)
ReplyDeleteHi Le, Thanks for popping by! Thank you for your comments, I look forward to meeting you :)
DeleteSee I told you they are a friendly bunch.
ReplyDeleteMike made a good point about individual numbering, I'll drop in some links later about good examples of layout.
As to your work I see a lot of promise here with some interesting combinations and shifts in design. I quite like one of the designs on sheet 2 it reminds me of the Mekon (anyone who has read Dan Dare or Eagle will know the one)
If you are getting stuck for ideas you can use tracing paper and start overlaying shapes (photocopying and collaging will achieve a similar effect)to increase the variety of combinations.
