As many of the physical studios have taught me as a Graphic Designer it is important to have the fundamental skills to help us grow as designers. This work shop is focused on drawing still life was really useful rather than drawing from a photograph. It helped you to notice tiny details of the objects ,focusing on the lines and the curvature of them. It was a good way for my to practise things like perspective drawing allowing me to spend time on getting the scale of the composition right. I experimented with lots of different materials and ways of using them for example , pastels , posca pens and pro markers in which i experimented with gradually building up layers of colour and monotone to create gradients and shade.
I found this workshop really useful and it has helped me to develop my own personal drawing. I have started and small sketchbook that i take with me everywhere in which i draw things in that i see that catch my eye whether its on the bus or whilst I'm on a train or walking on a Sunday afternoon. It has helped me to experiment more with different medias and get more accurate with my scale especially with typography which is what i have been mostly focusing on. I hope this will then build into my university work. These are some examples of my personal observations.
