drawing drawing…
Saturday, October 14th, 2006
Unlike I imagined it, Graphic design school has been less about sitting on the computer and more about pen and paper. Drawing. Illustration course, drawing human figure and drawing from life. (See some of the work, scanned here)
And it’s very different in other ways too. Much less about history and theory and more about just doing stuff. No books to read or papers to write. But maybe there is a hidden agenda, something seeding in our minds, making us go and learn by ourselves… which is surely the best way. I have to admit it was a shock at first, me calling the school a daycare centre, constantly wondering when “the real work” was going to start… But it’s been fun, and challenging and tiring and exciting.
Lately I’ve been busy packing stuff to officially move in with the boy. We are settling in, little by little, soothing all glitches as they come along. Important things, copic markers, shoes and computer, have lived here for a while already and I have started to call it home.
P.S. Oh look, one day the crazy hubby-to-be made this! No toasters, but design books, naturally!
