Well this weekend has been fairly productive.
I returned to Poole quay to try and get some more sketching and photography done and I'm really pleased I made the effort. Despite the fact it was bucketing down, I got some images that I believe I can develop for the editorial Illustrations. I was happy enough with the images from the group trip but I think I went for too much detail, so put that right this time.
I have been using Illustrator most of Sunday to try and get underway with part of the Text and Image theme and have put some interesting stuff in my sketchbook too.
Just need to complete the reading for Anna and I'm done! :-)

Time Managment!
Today I had a group tutorial with Kit and realised just how much I need to do to do myself justice. I know I'm learning and researching but if I don't demonstrate it, how can I prove it?
After the tutorial I rushed home and made a list of things I need to do, things I should do and things I want to do. I have it clear the depth required from my sketchbook now. It has been difficult because the idea of keeping a sketchbook doesn't come naturally to me. I have a pocket Moleskine where I write ideas, websites etc, but to log my learning process through sketches, photos, cut outs, writings, thoughts etc., is new to me.
I think I may have to revisit Poole for my editorial Illustrations too. I think the photos I took where too detailed and not generic enough. I have really zoomed in on my subjects and feel now I would benefit from having more "overview" of Poole style photos. Maybe I'll shoot over on my Vespa early Saturday morning. Weather permitting! :-)
Tomorrow I have my 2nd Illustrator class but I wasn't aware of this and due to work commitments won't be able to make it. I tried to call today to advise Clive but couldn't locate him. I'll have to hunt him down and ask him to run through it with me one-to one.
Work does have a lot to answer for so far. Obviously I knew before I started I would have to balance things well, but losing all day Thursday and Friday is really hard. The weekends are non existent at the moment, just a blur of mostly reading course material and the Sundays, sketchbooks and trying to have some sort of life! How selfish!
This weekend is going to be another marathon, but I like it really. It's all for my good.
