- Set working style; obsessive, intricate, detailed, usually spot drawings but all with little meaning/function. (Started to move away from this in foundation but still quite fixed)
- Ambitious to develop work especially in regard to meaning and ideas but very NERVOUS.
- Lots of self-pressure and expectations of myself to prove myself (mostly to myself) and to assure myself that I was meant to be here.
MIDWAY THROUGH
- Gained some sort of momentum and flow with work, started to gain a little confidence with good feedback and acknowledging it's meant to be fun and not as hard as I was making it for myself.
- Still getting very stuck with work though with not living up to expectations of myself, lots of doubts and anxious about practice and work ethic and ability etc.
- However being in uni became comfortable and settled into the course and living away.
LATER STAGES & NOW
- Still get stuck with work in my own head, still get anxious about practice and commitment etc.
- Not too sure where my practice lies or consists of.
- Pleased with my work so far and can see where I have challenged my previous working style, but as a result feel a bit in no man's land with how to progress.
- Have a vague idea of where my practice will go or where I want it to go at least.
------------
THINGS LEARNT
- Ideas are hard, execution is harder
- Stories and ideas and concepts can be told through image without the use of drawing
- Thinking and doing are separate processes
- Being good at drawing and being a good illustrator are two wildly different things
- I STILL HAVE SO MUCH LEARNING TO DO.
