I love the concept of the summer project I have been set! I feel that recording my life visually is a much more interesting way of keeping a diary rather than presenting my experiences in a written format. I think this task will be extremely beneficial for me. I love to draw, and I know that once I start I have a great pleasure in creating something that I can be proud of. However for the last week or two I've felt pretty uninspired to say the least. I haven't so much as picked up a pen let alone created anything worth presenting. Theres only one way to get out of that frame of mind though, and that is to push yourself. The best way to work through a rough patch is just to keep creating, despite the fact that you may think what you are creating is slightly shit. Thats why a diary in which I can draw everyday, be it a doodle if I'm feeling lazy, or a half decent drawing, will be great for keeping me inspired! I decided to leap right into it, and created a title page of course because thats fun.

| quick watercolour created whilst half asleep. As you can see I used the wrong pen here as it bleeds into the watercolour... I'm learning. |
Then, as you do in a diary, I drew something I did, which was adding blue to the tips of my hair. This drawing is crazily exaggerated, e.g it didn't/I don't look like that, obviously. But yeah, I love drawing hair and eyes and profiles in general really so that was something I guess I just had to start with!

| Sketched out with a pilot liquid ink pen. I usually go straight in with pen because I really just hate pencils. The blue is water colour. The grey is photoshop. I cant resist cleaning up in photoshop, just makes it look better all round really! |
Thanks for reading/looking at the pictures.
