SB2 | Sketches & Progress Crit

So after deliberating for a while on the whys and hows I did some really scrappy drawings of stuff I may turn into printed matter. The whole thumbnail thing and extensive planning doesn't really fit with the outcome I wish to make, as well as the tone of my author.

I don't want to just regurgitate his stories. I want to put across the feelings and ideas, as well as what his work makes me feel and think about.

The plan is to keep on making images for the time being, generate lists/a collection of images I can go from, then go into the print room and go really experimental and harness those weird vibes.

From there, I will have (hopefully) created a mountain of printed material which I can reassemble, chop up, sort out, and put into my printed publication by the end of this brief.

Here's the really quick starting sketches. Not too sure, they're not great but are okay starters I guess. Recurring things about bodies, changing, mutating, merging, melting, slimey figures, lonely ghosts and becoming  e x t e r n a l i s e d !

Peer Feedback

I made a complete meal of the feedback sheet (wrong boxes), but I did note down some things I thought were important.

• VISUAL POEM (I liked this term. It could mean lots of things.)

• Loose narrative, could use simplistic words and phrases? (Don't want text to overpower the images, or for them to become dependent on the words to 'make sense')

• Negative space

• Inversion

• Shape - to juxtapose lines. Push line drawings forward. (Colour, texture..)

• WHEN IN THE PRINT ROOM - take a list of buzzwords, stuff you can draw and just get into the print zone, okay?
