Everyday Sketchbooks reflection and feedback

Reflection

How did your interpretation of ‘the everyday’ change as you have carried out the work for this assignment? 

The only thoughts that really changed was the content I wanted to put in my sketchbook, at first I was only going to use it for exercises  but I actually thought having my own personal pages woud be good, It would show another side to how the exercises or everyday life inspire me or motivate me a certain day. I can show my own personality then just following the exercises. I think its such an open theme so I can literally sketch or draw whatever I feel on a certain day;maybe date it or write the events like you would in a diary.

Are there any aspects of the everyday that you think you would like to focus on in more depth in future assignments? 

 I think just to make sure I incoporate my own life into my sketchbook to show some personality. I would like to focus on giving myself a bit of freedom to make mistakes or have a lot of writing on the page. I always seem to want to mkae every page perfect so loosening up will be good and experiemtnal exercises will help with that. Another focus is to create something an reader can enjoy with the interactive parts.

What will you take forward from your understanding of how other artists and illustrators use sketchbooks? Again using it freely without restricting myself to just the work, experiement and not be afraid to fail.I maybe also be using a second sketchbook for keeping with me so I can sketch when I want or also trying out some of the styles from artists I've been researching. Lastly I think maybe sharing my work with other students on the forum or eventually joining a sketchbook circle may influence me.
