Today I spent a whole afternoon drawing plastic animals using toothpicks and scraps of card, long armed paintbrushes and charcoal. There was a very good reason for this separation from my beloved macbook and wacom pen, I was participating at the wonderful drawing unlimited workshop. I found this event to be very useful, as not only did it allow me to experiment with different illustrative styles and techniques but I also gained inspiration from the examples of illustrative work which rebecca and Christine displayed. It afforded me the opportunity to interact with my peers from 1st to 3rd year, which was a nice change as I have found that viscom can become quite insular between the year groups.
