Sketchbook

 I covered my original front cover because it was High School Musical... not cool.I made the cover by cutting to A5 size and covering it in floral papers. The rest of the sketchbook was put together using coptic stitch. I learnt how to make my own sketchbook, alot of work but so worth it at the end.

                                       
                                              Woo! That there is Coptic Stitch in action.

                                     
Page unos. A picture of worn out shoes with lyrics from Let Me Take You There by Plain White T's. This used to be my favouritest song ever... until I got bored of it. anyways... I thought it went well with the shoes. I took one of my pairs of shoes moving them in different angles to produce drawings.

Okay, so page 2 is SLIGHTLY rude. But it's my overheard conversation and it did make my day a hell of a lot better so I just had to use it. Please ignore the naughty words.:) I used watercolours and a very thin and small paintbrush for the images. On page 3 I made a silhouette family tree using black card and "drawing with scissors". It's actually a lot harder than it looks.

Hello big shiny silver thing. On our left we have Jessica Ennis with a nice pattern on her face. She was an inspiration to most people in Britain this year so why not use her face to be drawn upon? I didn't want to make it tedius so i changed the pattern as much as i possibley could. I used black fine liners. On the right we have a package of blackberry apple tea which is my favey and i created this with biros.

Big shiny thing returns. This is 2 pages of gesture / contour line drawings of my little cat, Phil, using biro. Oh and all that writing in the background is the poem "The Owl and The Pussycat" which i thought went wonderfully with my little kittycat. This was actually the hardest task to do because he kept moving so much!

At the top is a contour image of my bedroom window with lyrics from a song from Moulin Rouge and the bottom page is a picture of my textiles room (sorry its not graphics sir..) which could be better so i may redraw it at some point.

 My Kind of Love by Emeli Sande is my favourite song at the moment so I wrote it in loads of different typefaces, I love this song and I love the video to it - it had to be done.

 On the left is a page of lots of different cartoon faces and on the right is a page of geometric shapes and patterns.

 On the left is just an experimentation of trying to draw holding hands, its harder than it looks :( and on the right is a profile of Effy from skins.

On the left is a random guy I saw and I thought I would draw him to go with my profile little cartoon people.
The right side has some slightly insane bugs that managed to get into a passport booth, they all turn mad at the end. I'm thinking its a bit of a mid-life crisis. poor moth.
