My time at university is drawing to a close

My evaluation of my final project


So this is probably the last ever blog post I am going to write here which honestly feels a little bit weird to say as I am so used to just jotting down my creative ideas here and writing way too much about what I have planned. I am going to miss it.  My time at university has really just flown past and a lot of my previous projects seemed to have all blurred together into one but in all honesty I have to say BA3b has probably been my favourite one so far. I learned a lot of new things through researching different subject areas and practising different artistic techniques in this project which I was able to apply to my work and make it that little bit stronger as well as applying all the other techniques, tips and tricks I have learnt throughout my years at university. The anatomy model making classes we received this term have also been incredibly helpful when it comes to my character art as well.


I also learnt not to give myself too much to do and that sometimes simple is best so instead of creating a huge digital art book of stuff like I was planning to do I now have a small collection of work that I am very happy with. Honestly this project made me fall in love with drawing again. I am pleased with all of the work I have produced for this term as I feel like it is some of the strongest stuff I have drawn in a long time, both personal pieces and university work stuff, especially my final piece which I am really proud of. I am happy that I spent so long on it and I feel like all that environment and character work from the previous years really paid off as I think it's one of the best things I have drawn in a long time. I feel that creating all my project work for BA3b digitally has helped improved my skills in that area and helped to make me feel more confident about what I am working on. It will also help me improve with speeding up my sketch work which is something I am still determined to improve.


I really don't have anything negative to say this time around as I am just feeling a lot more comfortable with what I have done this time around.  I was able to improve my time keeping from my previous year two projects which were a bit of a disaster and have been able to work at a comfortable pace. I think what really helped me to keep working and stay motivated was that I adore my character designs. I am so invested in them that I was determined to make every piece of work with them in good. I just wanted to keep on working and drawing so that I could bring each of them to life and I am really looking forward to keeping on drawing them in the future. Honestly I think this project has been my best so far for me and was a great one to end my university course on.
