Week 11 Sketches 20 June 2024

This week, I began focusing solely on my self-initiated project. For the past few weeks, I have been drawing characters and illustrations as much as possible. My lecturer reminded me that it is very important to accept my imperfections in designing and start recognizing the uniqueness in my style of art. I listened and decided to give myself a chance to finally get out of my comfort zone.

I have been drawing overnight while listening to my favorite songs. As time passed, I did it. For the first time, I stopped chasing unrealistic perfection in art and actually started drawing something on my own, without plagiarizing other designers. Here are some of the drawings I created throughout this academic journey.

When trying out and experimenting with different art techniques like watercolor and crayon, I told myself it's great if it turns out as expected, and it's okay if it doesn't. I overcame the fear of failure and realized it doesn't matter much as long as I don't give up trying.

This is some of my first drawing a.k.a first try

This is the refine final sketch

This is experiment with watercolours and colorpencils
