SUMMATIVE STATEMENT

Though out the duration of this module I have experimented in process. I'm mainly a hand drawn artist as I enjoy working directly onto stock with different dry mediums but this project has also allowed to explore more avenues and experiment in wet media. Ink is something I've had success with before this project also allowed to to practice my technique in acrylic and and some trial and error I really found my own with it, I discovered a completely new way of working that still rang true with my practice but now allows me to answers a much wider range of briefs is a variety of ways.

I feel like PPP and COP both prepared me for the end of this module setting me up for better branding and creating capabilities, PPP showed me the importance of a  brand and what it takes to do it right and this project allowed me to further explore that and really get to the bone of what kind of brand I want to be and how to be it. COP helped me realised that I can create bespoke custom clothing that people actually want to buy which added a lot of confidence too and then this project just allowed me to further improve that skill.

I have discovered from this project that I'm somewhat of a narcissistic illustrator, I much prefer to do my own brand and my own brief that answer someone else's. That's not too say if the right brief comes along I can't tackle it but i'll solely be focusing on briefs that come to me, as in client based work or my own brand. I will still be looking for competitions also but not in the likes of DNAD AND YCA, it will be along a more low-brow scale since I think that's where my practice really shines.

The final thing i've taken away from this project is that I'm a drawer, I enjoy painting and making but my true skill and passion lies in putting pencil to paper and making marks with intent, It's what I'm best at and it's what I enjoy the most. From that skill I can take my work into a digital sphere and just clean it and tweak it slightly so it's ready to be down but at the bottom of it all I'm a hand made creative.
