Thursday 29th November - Pathways

The last time that I spoke to Jo, she looked at my work and saw the drawings that I had done of the models from magazines. She said there was no real link between me and them, and I needed to make it more personal to myself. One of the ideas that she suggested to me was that instead of me drawing models, I either draw myself or someone close to me. I instantly thought of my sister. That way, the drawings and whatever else I would decide to take them into would be personal to me.
Also, it would relate to me and my culture if my sister wore asian clothes as they are filled with pattern and colour, and for the background, I use patterns from wallpaper as what I have been doing is pattern on pattern, which normally would look to clash, but in this case, it works.
So, I had taken some photographs of her in the clothes and all that was left to do was draw her. I did 2 drawings of her and by mid afternoon, I was done. The next step is to get these drawings onto a screen and print them which will be next week.
