My set for drawing usually entails me sitting in my room with just my lamp on and in my bed with a cup of tea. No music and no TV, just myself and my book. What ever I feel, what ever is going through my mind, happy or sad it goes straight in to my book. For the past two year I have done this and I have completed two books of my personal drawings. Some drawings are good and some are hard to look at but when I look through them now I find it fun to look like. It's almost like looking at a book of your life, a diary about your year, what you've done. A journey. My journey! And when I look at my work I feel like that I have traveled so far and it shows in my work.
There is no theme into what I create because it can go in any direction. The most material that I use is pen but every now and again I will choose water colour or pencil but again this depends on what I feel like using at the time. With the outcome of my drawings... Well that's not in my control. Half the time I don't start with an outline, I just put pen to paper and just do it. Anything I want is on that paper and the pen does what I want to do because the work is mine and mine only, I'm in control of the pen and it does what I want it to do. However sometimes when the emotions changes throughout the process of drawing, the outcome can change in itself. And that's why the some of the outcomes can have a slight mix of being gentle and being aggressive.
Keeping a book of what I have done is also a remind of how I have progressed as an artist, my progression on my skills. I am currently on my third book and I honestly can't wait for my journey with this third book. And I hope that you have enjoyed a little look at my work.
