I look back over these drawings and think about how I could have explored traditional illustration instead of 3D models. I don't regret the choices I made as I like using each project to explore and experiment. However, now I have an even stronger desire to draw and solve the problems that arise from them.
As I right the caption for each drawing, I realise how varied the materials are. Most obviously in observational drawing I use different materials because I don't really like to repeat things. I think this is a good quality but it does mean I haven't really pushed the bounrdaries of many materials, or refined/tightened the way I work with particular materials. Is this neccessary? Possibly.
I also wonder if I should use my primary research more to influence and inspire the direction on my work? For example, the pattern on the slippers are very stong and I like how the use of pastle on the torch really communicates too me the reflective quality of its glass. Instead, I had an urge to make things and steard down the 3D route.
