Action Plan

There are so many things I could put on my action plan as I feel there is a lot that I should be doing that I haven't got round to yet. But the main 5 would be this.

1. Aquire necessary tech skills (using Photoshop, Illustrator, Indesign etc.)

2. Continuously searching for new and upcoming artists and keeping myself informed on what is happening in my specialist area in particular. This inlcudes reading more books and magazines on illustration.

3. Create an eyecatching and impressive CV to send out to potential clients.

4. Enter competitions and possibly look for placements and work experience.

5. Keep sketchbooks and set myself projects to motivate myself and develop my skills further and keep my mind stimulated for new projects. Improve on figure drawing!!

These should be on-going tasks but I would like to have achieved these by the time I graduate.

Final Outcomes

For my final idea i decided to present all 3 on one sheet of A3. This way they're all linked and fit together as they are all simple monoprints. Printing them any bigger would have caused them to blur. The colours didn't quite come out as dark as I wanted but I'm happy enough with the end result. I chose a grainy paper to print onto instead of shiny paper as i thought it fitted with the monoprints better. 

Double Printing Sessions

I went in to the print room to do my monoprints of dogs and skateboards and such. Some were quite successful and i decided to use a few in my final 3, others I wasnt so happy about so I went back the next day and printed new images onto the same sheets of paper.

The feet I drew at a later date, using people that were stood with me in the print room at the time. I then went into the mac room to scan and photoshop my images together to make 3 final ideas. 

Skateboarding Dogs!

My second conceptual idea is a skateboard for dogs. To do this I collected images of dogs running to then draw onto skateboards. I did infact find that some dogs can skateboard!!
