Evaluation (See guidance below for more information)

You are required to write a 500 word evaluation of this module.

I was unsure at the beginning of the year where I wanted my practice to go. I tried to find a area that I could fit in to and my work would be accepted by others. I quickly realized that most of my recent work had a transgrestive feel and that I should concentrate on this area. With me drawing a lot of skull as this is my passion I thought why not just My real focuses has been on my hand drawn work and how I can produce this to a standard that needs very little digital editing before it is taken from drawing to product. I don’t mind using software such as Photoshop to clean up my work but I feel this can sometimes take away the charm that ‘handcrafted’ seems to have. I have used a variety of techniques and many different types of pen to find ones that do what I need them to do and translate my movements to marks that have movement to them . From tis I have begin to see that my work could be sold under a brand image as I produce a lot of images that would fit happy in the alternative music scene and be accepted to the heavy metal world. I have learnt to really focus on not using my first idea for the final design but to work on this over and over and over again. With the skulls that im drawing at first it was hard to draw them over and other again and get them to appear the same but I quickly realized it was working and that not all of them had to be like photocopy’s of each other for them to be seen as the same work. Now taking these methods and way of producing work and turning into products, This is where the whole unit has slowed right down as I am yet to get into my shed to print due to finances, but taking a turn as some of the commons I have done recently are been paid for and this will give me some funds to buy equipment I need to get my brand of the ground.  I have researched and shopped around to find the products I want to be able to produce products of a good standard. Also to my surprise some individuals have approached me to produces illustrations and designs for them. I have completed one of these so far and I’m just awaiting payment.  I have found this to be a nice experience and how well it went working with clients and the fact I have not had to evaluate every step I feels has help my creativity flow. I am going to try find more work that is working with other clients as I feel this is a area I have shied away from do to my confidence in my work but since been approached by clients its given my confidence a real boost.
