Person of note - hit the wall!

I began this task with a positive feeling. Knowing that can sink my teath into something I will enjoy and produce something good! (Away from illustrator) I started the project and I couldn't draw! I had some kind of mental block. I don't want to come across pretentious but I had the positive feelings to draw and that nott you get when your inspired to want/need to draw but I just couldn't draw. The person I chose my project to be based on was Leonard nimoy. This was perfect for me, I imidiatly thought of Spock. I like sci fii and my practice is hugely inspired by movies and any thing  classed geeky. Anything with a large audience that people can relate to,im there drawing it... But this time nothing was happening. 

This is my the work I was producing in my block...this was me drawing my best at the time! 

These drawings of a woman made me realise I was in trouble...again this was me drawing seriously!

Everyone was kind and told me they wasn't rubbish! But conpare these.

I started the research for Leonard nimoy and was hyped to get  into the project. But this block wasn't letting me.

I had 4 pages of bad drawings of Mr nimoy and lost all motivation and lost everything I needed to draw! 2 weeks into the holidays and the project, knowing I need to work but couldn't.

 I chose to come away from any uni work related projects and focus on my drawing 

I filled a moleskin sketch book up of bad drawing of friends, objects and scenery. It was in the third week Of not been able  to draw when I started kicking my arse and had to real concentrate to develops work.

Started to get somewhere!

I found an inspiration to draw animals using ink and in a style iv not experimented with since the beginning of this course year. So I pushed this forward 

Little illustration of a monkey in his little drawing block! 

 This drawings took me ages to draw I knew I wasn't back to the level I was but I knew I was getting there. 

With the little ability I had I through my self into things that inspire me to draw 

Mix media 

This took me s total of 9 hours to do, any other time would be 3 hours maybe 4  max. 

I took time to study that iv always wanted to master to draw.

I wanted to blog this as evidence of the struggle I went through for the first time not been able to draw! to evidence the journey and the fight I went through with my drawing. My moleskin sketchbook is probebly my best yet it shows a visual journey. The start all the drawings are rubbish and as you work through the pages you see the work progress.
