These is my complete a5 sketchbook from this illustration module. I have also created two digital sketchbook/colour development books that are featured in the previous blog post. I wanted this sketchbook to be a place that I could write and sketch what my ideas were, do printing tests or figure out concepts that were easier to be thought through on a page rather than just in my head. On the front inside cover of my book, I stuck down all the little scrap paper notes that I had made over the course of the topic, as I sometimes didn’t have my sketchbook to hand. I used my sketchbook primarily for figuring out traditional concepts, or how best to bring my digital work out of the screen, which is why I have gone into more detail on my process of creating each illustration into my blog posts and other development digital sketchbooks, as I was worrying less about the neatness of my book, and trying to figure more about practicality. I personally tend to do a lot of writing in my sketchbook, and there were definitely moments I realised I was writing a lot. However, this writing is meant for me rather than writing about technical skills, and so all the relevant information about how I created each illustration is written on my blog, so you don’t need to struggle and follow my handwriting. I learnt a lot about printing this year, figuring out RGB vs CMYK, and the difference that different papers make in the final result. I also wanted to use the back of my sketchbook to create a mockup of what my final submission layout plan was for my final examination. I have also included a YouTube video of me flipping through my sketchbook and zooming in on some of the more relevant drawings done within.
