Pres Doc Tutorial

Had a talk with Alexandra today about this blog and my C.V.

C.V is almost there, just need to add a bit about myself.

Pres Doc is looking good! Just need to be a little more critical about some things, such as why I like  the references that i upload on here or how it is related to my own work. She said that i might not have to do the whole printing out this blog and turning it into some kind of book anymore. I so hope so, its going to take up a lot of time to do this, right before the FMP deadline as well. Also think of all the ink and paper it will use! Fingers crossed.

Drew another bird woman today, quite like it, i like the weird composition. The bird is larger than the girl and so its over powering her. It also looks like the girl is coming out of the bird, like its a part of it. Ive made the girl look like she has puppet hands too, like they are being held up above her head, unwillingly on her behalf. This refers to the mum (and also the dad and step mum) controlling her life for her.

Playing around a bit with levels

 This one bellow has more of an atmosphere to it i believe
