tutorial

main thoughts:
had a tutorial with jamie about where i'm at - i started doing gouache paintings in response to a couple sketches I had done that I liked but realised in that tutorial that i had not been exhaustive enough with my sketches & drawings.
i was concerned about dissecting the lyrics and forgot that there are music videos that give more of an insight into the energies and settings of the album. 
so since then i've been making an effort to be more exhaustive. I think that because i've made this project so outcome focused i found it helpful to think about what i wanted to make work towards and that ended up stopped me from working as fluidly and extensively?
so i retracted to making in my sketchbook and trying to capture the feelings of new york in 1994 as opposed to dissecting lyrics or working solely from photographs. Jamie said "add flavour" and that's what i've been attempting to do.

notes from tutorial:
*fabic - digi print
*own descriptions? little bits
*newspaper club
*lots of type
*extract type from photos and videos
*flavour - other bits; environments

larger thoughts:
forcing myself to be exhaustive in my approach to drawing has 1. made me realise how out of practice i am and 2. how important it is to push myself outside of what i'm used to. I convinced myself i didn't like drawing anymore but i forgot the joy that comes from using different pens and pencils and layering and immediacy and energy. i feel like that got lost somewhere in 2nd year and i'm excited im breaking away from that :)
