I signed up to this session to improve my drawing skills. I hadn't looked into perspective drawing since high school and thought I needed this session to have another chance at understanding perspective. I'm glad I attended this session because it reminded me of thing I had forgotten and taught me new about perspective as well. I really enjoyed creating the 'fish-eye' work. I felt that it made my work look more dynamic which I feel that my work lacks a lot of. With the 360 degree room drawing, it's a lot more fascinating to look at than the usual square corners I probably would had drawn if not told so. Recently I've been looking at artwork and seeing how and if they've incorporated dynamic perspectives as well to see how effective it is at creating an exciting piece of work.

I really enjoyed my session with Textiles Course Leader Nicholas Rodgers. I had never known of the software AVA before and found it a really useful tool with repeating and colour swaps. One of my favourite features was that you could automatically repeat a pattern to my customs, and still work into it to make it loop like I had done above with the cat and squiggles images. With the Tucan image, I learnt how I could take an image and separate all the colours I pick from the original and transfer them to layers. It gave myself a lot to play around with and develop to create these bright repeat patterns above. I thought about how I could use this software to develop digital patterns for when I create digital illustrations. Above is an old sketch and I incorporated my patterns to use for the bikini. I think this would be a really nice way to create flat digital illustrations when it comes to clothing, or maybe use it to render repeating textures that can then later be used. This is a software I hope to get the chance to use again in a future project because of how fun and adaptable I find it can be.
