Eye of the tiger.

I'd say 'not so suprisingly', but considering the state of our university course, I guess its really not that suprising anymore. I've been on and off struggling with work. Not so much the doing, but the ideas. No matter what direction I get distracted with, I always find myself coming back to people, faces and features. My biggest problem, of course, is trying to merge a meaning to whatever it is I do. Before christmas, I was having a tutorial with one of my tutors. I'd drawn some really detailed faces, that I actually loved! (first time for everything) and he happened to stumble across my sketches that I'd done in preparation for those drawings... and just completely went off on one.
"It's not about capturing the whole person, just their essence". Firstly, I don't even know what IT is yet, isn't that what I'm trying to figure out by 'doing'?

So of course, over christmas, that's all I did. Eyes, nose, mouth, ears, the works. My tutorial this week was with someone different. Suffice to say, this guy saw things very differently from the last one.

Looking forward to the zine fair next week, I'm feeling a good sort of pressure. Not a looming sense of doom like usual!

C'est la vie.

I'm not quite decided what to include in this blog, I don't want to base it on one thing, so I thought I'd share my University blog. We've been pressured into writing one for our context module. It's basically a review of our visits to galleries in and around liverpool.

To say they have been a bit sketchy on every detail to do with this course is an understatement (but I'll save that for another day!)

Here it is -
