Conjunction 12

I am really really excited about this.

Drew this quick doodle in Liverpool while job-shopping. It's not perfect but I think I'm getting closer to what kind of layout I want to draw for my comic, and once I have that pieced together, I can start to plan text placement, do more material experiments and character designs. Have started some brief experiments using oil pastels and acrylic paint, can't wait to move onto incorporating textiles into my designs.

Bowl Update

Haven't updated what I've been doing with my bowls for a while so here goes:

• all of the glazes my grandfather left me are lead-based and can't be used in contact with food or children's toys according to new legislation, so I need to invest in new glazes once my money comes in. because nobody will want a bowl that you can't put food in
• am still planning to run a few tests on them anyway to get me used to using my grandfather's crazy kiln
• have designed a digital database on MSaccess where I can keep all records of any test tiles I ever decide to make in one place that is easily searchable
• Have bought myself a new underglaze pencil which should be handy when it comes to further test-tiling and decorating if I get myself a clear glaze to seal it in

Unfortunately I don't have any pictures to share yet, but to those interested at all, watch this space.

Quick doodle of a local church. A lot of my recent drawings are very heavily line-based, but that's because my main reason behind drawing them is to record types of geometric shapes to give me a further idea of how I want my comic layout to look like.

so far:

• have looked at basic scientific theories of how the universe began
• have visited Keele Observatory for further research
• have copied the first chapter of Genesis (king James version) word for word to give me a better idea of biblical language
• have begun to sketch churches and church windows for grid layout

I need to:

• do more research into classical looking angels and statues because I want the main narrator to be an angel
• do first-hand research into material experimentation, combining textiles and paints
• use church sketches to create grid layouts
• write a script based on the research I have done so far
• create rough draft of what I want the comic to look like on paper combining grid, character, text

this one's an older doodle I did in the summer.

initial sketch for a comic I'm planning. Mostly done reseach for how it's going to be written and my sketchbook are just filled with bible quotations and stuff by stephen hawkins but I'm finally starting to get onto the artwork

I wrecked the hand a bit cause it was always moving, but not a bad live sketch
