Gaining mixed media skills;
During this course, I have yet to apply all my skills as I felt some were unnecessary to this course but I have learned that all skills can be used to my advantage to progress. Instead of doubting my ability's for the remainder of this course, I will display a range of skills that I developed during my personal studies. This will include my skills in Cinema 4D, Manga Studios, and Adobe Illustrator. The ‘Cheltenham Illustration Awards’ will be a project on which I will try to apply multiple mediums to create work. Applying my knowledge in graphic design to this project will help to discover the use of space and colour in my artwork.
what skills do you want to obtain? I would like to progress in mixed media and the skills you need to get started was as simple as trying different techniques to expand and develop my practice. Which is something I’ve always lacked in confidence and decided that I would just allow myself to have fun with a different variety of mediums. I wanted to do something crazy that I wouldn’t normally think to do! Researching editorial artist such as Stuart McReath, I found many artists in the editorial field uses mixed media to keep the process fresh and visually stimulating.
