Throughout my previous topics I've always been fussy about drawings and what I want to draw. Therefore, starting the exam left me with the need to show observational drawings but being reluctant to a start sketchbook. So, I decided to choose what I wanted to draw, I decided to focus on flowers and nature. This was because I have never drawn flowers before and felt it was a good starting point. I began by creating quick sketches and taping the leaves and plants down into the book with the sketches. However, as I progressed taping the flowers down became slightly childish and began to lose their effect of what I was capturing. Therefore, I began just sketching without taping the flowers within my book. However, I started to feel like my drawings were taking to long. Therefore I began to use three minute time limits which allowed me to create more. As my sketches began to develop I found a style in which I really liked drawings. This allowed me to actually enjoy drawing which meant  I was producing more drawings focusing on different aspects of the flowers such as the petals, colour, and shape. As my drawings developed I felt I should start to look at a different style. Something which really interested me was line drawing. Therefore I decided to continue and try it out, I felt it worked extremely well, so began to add various patterns and so forth. I feel talking about my sketchbook as a whole, rather than each individual page, allows me to sum my experience of drawing and how my ideas have developed since. However, I will pin point certain concepts and drawings which did not work and how my drawings did develop.
