Target for today:

• to create research pages in my sketchbook into the chosen theme.

As research would be a big part of this project, I chose to get started on this as soon as I can. I had already gathered a lot of images of architecture on my Pinterest account, which I chose to start my project with. I printed these off and stuck them into my sketchbook in a very orderly manner. I wanted every aspect of this project to resemble architecture and this is why I chose my pages in my sketchbook to look neat, clean and very organised. Some of the images wouldn't fit onto the sketchbook pages without being cut, which I didn't want to do. I chose to leave these spaces empty and fill them in with drawings of my own when I had finished adding all of the photographs.

Once I had stuck in the images, I was able to start filling in the blank spaces in the pages. I chose to get little parts of the images I had included and reproduce them in the blank spaces. I thought about what colours and media to use in order for the drawings to fit in with the page as a whole. I chose to use watercolours with coloured pencils over the top, coloured pencils on their own, acrylic paint and also black ink. I chose these as I thought that they would be best to fit in with the rest of the images, and that they were the best media to use for each individual drawing. Because I took so much time on ensuring that the drawings were as good as I could get them, I didn't have time to finish the rest of the pages that I had started.
