A peep at my Sketchbook...

I was really struggling to decide what to write about for
 my first post, so after much consideration, I thought I'd
give you a brief look at one of my old sketchbooks just to give you an idea of my style.

I created this over about five months for my Btec Art course at school. I chose Btec over GCSE as it offered more free reign with the project  briefs and taught me to be independent with the design process. Although some people may like a bit more structure, I felt it worked well for me and this decision payed off (my mark was a Distinction Star in the end).

Even though this is a Btec Art sketchbook, I hope it will also help those of you doing GCSE as the examiners will be looking for simillar features. Also it's much more interesting for the examiners to look at a bright and well presented book as well as it being much more fun to create...a win win situation.


















I'm planning to go into more depth with this sketchbook in future posts, about things like the background techniques, clever ways of annotating and nifty tricks to fit all of your artwork into your book.

For now though, just have a little nosy through these photos. Enjoy!
