3 minute video about myself 💞
As uncomfortable it was to talk about myself.. here are a few points about myself I went through in this video,
Where it all started...
Inspired by...
My favourite things...
Hobbies I have...
Things I enjoy...
What am I passionate about...
Feminism!
My illustrations inspired by things I’ve experienced as a women.
This is work I created in response to communicating a message. I went with feminism.
The message i wanted to convey was about the relatable pains women go through together. I did research on instagram and found out how people felt about this and this is where my research has come from. I found this important because I was looking for how my work was going to communicate with the target audience.
Here is the poll I made on my Instagram and the response I received was so helpful and relatable.
Florence Given (Floss) - Women Don’t Owe You Pretty.
This book changed my life for the better!
“With the launch of her debut book ‘Women Don’t Owe You Pretty’ (Cassel June 2020) Florence became the youngest author to hold a position in the top 5 of the Sunday Times best-seller list for a consecutive 12 weeks in a row. By November 2020 the book had sold over 100,000 copies and been acquired for translation into 11 languages.
Florence’s work confronts oppressive attitudes towards women and their bodies and she uses her platform to raise awareness of issues surrounding sexuality, consent, race and gender. Florence shares her bold illustrations”- https://www.florencegiven.com/pages/about
This is my favourite book ever! Ever! Ever.
I remember buying flosses book in the summer of 2020 from a local book shop in our village. I wasn’t much of a person who liked to read at that time nor did I really have a burning passion for feminism (I mean being all caught up in internal misogyny and all). So it was a surprise to me why I was so tempted to pick this book up. But hey, it could of been the fact that the cover looks nice and camp or the fact that there’s a gorgeous women on the back with hairy armpits, either way best 13 quid I’ve ever spent!
After that I couldn’t put the book down, it was glued to my hands for weeks. I read each chapter over and over, and not in my dyslexic way but because each chapter was so good I had to get every bit all over again. I think I even dropped it in the bath at one point. But at 16 years old this book had been my awakening. My LGBTQ, feminist and self companionate awakening. And if you’ve written a book that’s able to do all that I think that you’ve written a cracking set of chapters!
However, Floss didn’t only write this book but she also illustrated it all too. I believe this to be the reason this book speaks to me the way it does, with its carefully selected colour palletes and its tacky 70s aesthetic illustrations. I love it.
She inspires me and because of this very book, she is one of the first people I think of when I think of Feminism.
Her art and her way of seeing the world inspires me. She has done an amazing job at creating something so beautiful and charming, whilst also opening up discussions about hard and sometimes traumatic events.
Line drawing, this is one of my favourite ways of practicing my drawing techniques.
I find practising with drawing techniques is really important for developing ideas, this is a place to experiment and make mistakes.
This image is made with a ball point pen.
More developments and final design ideas
My experimental developments
Here is a print i made which inspired all the other developments
From drawing to ceramic
 This work represents my processes from 2-D to 3-D. Here I have drawn in pen and pencil of fish and developed it even further using different techniques.
I then drew a picture of some fish in ball point pen. This helps me think of inspiration for maybe different marks I will make, when making the textures in the clay.
Here I further developed the shape of the fish with outline drawings.
I made sure to paint the fish so I knew which colours I could use when making it in ceramics.
Then it came to starting to make the ceramics. I then practised with colours and techniques with tools. This help me understand which tools did what So l didn't mess up my finished piece.
Here is my final 3d piece.
I made it in clay which was then fired in a kiln. After the fish was fired we used watercolour. The watercolour was the best for this job as it was easier to blend together. After I painted the fish I wanted to make it look wet as if the fish was alive, fresh out of water.
I think that this is a very good way of making a clay piece. The planning is something that will help you make decisions but also might help you come up with new ones. For example without the practising of mark making on the clay tile, I wouldn’t of been able to create the texture on the fish which I desired. Without the drawings of the fish I wouldn’t of been able to figure out what shape I should make it. 
These images are pieces of work I completed in a 5 hour exam in year 11 that represent body image
In the sketch book you can see that I have really tried to understand the practises I was going to explore and the mediums and materials I was going to use.
These images best represent the work I completed in high school. Most of the work I produce has a political or social message behind it and in this project I wanted to communicate the issues people have with body image and that they judge themselves and other people for it. But also understanding where body image even comes from.
Movie - Moonrise Kingdom - Wes Anderson
This is my favourite film. From the amazing casting, to the colour palette, to the witty and quirky story line. This film is genius.
The perfection of Wes is he knows now to communicate humour with his stylised story telling. Wes Anderson has a very distinctive technique when it comes to filming, he uses symmetry, composition, blocking and camera movement. These key aspects of filming is just a small part of what makes Wes Anderson… Wes Anderson!
I find that even now in the work I produce I am still taking inspiration from his work. When choosing my colour palette to deciding on composition, my biggest inspiration comes from Wes Anderson’s work.
The reason why I love this certain Wes Anderson film is because it’s a story from a younger persons perspective and their innocent look in life. I believe that this is not only a tricky view point for an adult director to communicate, but challenging proving Wes Anderson is talented enough to do so and with style. Even though the children act like adults this is what gives the characters wit. That is what makes Anderson’s films so lovable. And that’s not even mentioning his talent with the use of colour.
Wes uses colour in the character’s and set design which often is his way of bringing the whole film together, and its style. With Moonrise Kingdom we can see that he had decided to focus on using pastel based colours. This again isn’t only pleasing to the eye but also help give us a child like daydream feel across the film, and with the opening scene evolving a weather report we can see in many later scenes that the pastels appear in the pre-storm sky. This links the whole idea of innocence and young love together with the tale of time as the storm is evolving throughout the story and so is their a romance.
Illustrations that have inspired my clay characters
Far left character: Here's the first ever character illustration page I looked at that inspired my character clay making. I love using the bright childlike mediums for this just to decide what I will do with it. I like using these mediums as it reminds me of how much fun and playful the process of creating can be.
Clay 💚
Clay character based sculptures
I was inspired by the trends at the time of making funny characters in trays and went from there really. I started this hobby just by making some things for the people I love and it's really just been a part of my process since. I think this can be a really fun way to explore more about the characteristics of a illustration that I've created or a character I have come up with in my head. It doesn't just capture a 2d character but the whole 3d profile too.
Here is some creative practice with using ink materials, and understanding how they work.
We had created the drawing tools ourselves out of bamboo sticks and recycled products such as cardboard or sponge's.
This was a challenging task as we had to understand how to manipulate the tools we had created to control how the ink would apply to the paper.
I really enjoyed the way this technique came out as a design, and I also enjoyed the challenge.
LEEDS MARKET POSITIVE MURAL BRIEF
This brief was set to create a positive mural including your own social sustainability choice. I decided to focus on mental health and wanted to use this as an opportunity to get my work out there by making people smile and laugh.
For this project I was inspired by Humberto Cruz (iscreamcolour) who's work is displayed in my last image. I found that his work style and love of colour spoke to me a lot and inspired me to use bright colours and bold shapes in my own designs.
Here I have hopefully shown my experimental processes, as I have used a lot of different mediums including spray paint, acrylic paint, felt and many more. I enjoy this way of working the most as I can experiment and discover more about my practice.
Experimenting with digital mediums.
This is my first still life drawing using digital mediums. This time lapse shows you all the processes I went through to get to my final outcome.
Music: If everything was good (Feat. Mimi Bay)
Musician: Silicon Estate
Process of creating my 2nd attempt at still life using a digital medium. This was really exciting to make each layer and experiment with what I could create. One of my favourite things about digital drawing is that I can see it develop and also go back on things whenever I like. So flexible and so experimental.

Final digital designs of still life
Sweet tooth 🦷💞🍭 This is my first real attempt at a digital drawing still life. I loved using lots of different material tools, including the watercolor and crayon brushes :) . . . #procreateart #art #britishbiscuits #food #illustration #stilllife #biscuit #vintage #apple #crayon #watercolour #pinkwaffer #jammydodgers #jammydodger #crumbs #teaparty #cakeandtea #artist https://www.instagram.com/p/CZdGyoSNiuW/?utm_medium=tumblr
