Applied Illustration: Tutorial

I had another tutorial today with Eleanor which I found very usefully as I've felt somewhat cold towards my work since jumping back onto it post Responsive and CoP hand in; needing a bit of guidance.

We came to the conclusion that I have the 'Applied' aspect of this module fully realised but I'm lacking in the 'Illustration' side of things. I told her that I've been working digitally a lot lately as I find I can sit at a computer to work longer than I can sit in front of a sheet of paper with a pencil. She recommended that I sit down and have a play with acrylic paints as this would add to an aesthetic that would compliment the timeframe of my work. This would also help what I have produced earlier in Studio Brief 1 tie into what I am doing in Studio Brief 2. At this point in time I feel that there is a disconnect between the two so appreciate that they need to inform each other more.

After the tutorial I went to the library to find contemporary artists that use acrylic paint to work with and withdrew several books.

Before Tuesday I will have experimented and played with acrylics to the point where I have something useful to develop further.
