i started off the sketchbook work on 8th March. i am aware of that i am behind. During term 1 and term 2 i pushed myself and didnt sleep much for my work. One of my friends once told me that no one will say stop working whereas they would say do work harder so i need to manage time doing work myself. Besides, one of other friends who is already working in fashion industry at the moment has told me that i might not be able to work longer as long as i keep working like this: think too much, pursuit of perfection. This spring break, i believe that taking a sufficient rest is also i have to learn for my future. Hence, i went to ravel and tried not to concern about work. After it, i feel the brain fog has been relieved but also i feel like some ideas in my head are being organized and clear.
I started the first page with scenes to describe the narrative of Frankenstein. i rewatched and screenshotted the photos which is inspirational or important to understand the movie.
i found the analysis that the second movie of Frankenstein, Bride of Frankenstein, is the story about queer- https://the-take.com/read/why-is-abride-of-frankensteina-often-analyzed-as-a-gay-parable Actually the aim of this project is about repression of sexuality or sexual desire so i wanted to talk about homosexuality as well. This is because i haven’t understood why some of people judge homosexuals or bisexuals by their sexuality. The analysis that the movie is about homosexuality itself makes my evidence stronger.
i used 3d software as a practice and i realized that it has different format to export. i haven’t used this type of format so i need to study about it.
This is the watercolour work i simply copied a photo from Pinterest around 3 years ago. That was the last time i used watercolour and i was not confident at that period.
This is the work i did today. The previous work had no depth of colour and seems i repeated same technique. The technique paints with soaked brush reflects that i was not confident of myself. However the recent work has clear depth from lightness to darkness. i think i still need to learn more but i somehow like my work at the moment.
The quality of work might not be better than previous work at the moment as i carried out late. However i personally feel like the overall work has been improved and i am happy with my drawing and painting so far.
