For some reason, when I began drawing some of my Gran's jewellery, I decided to experiment with a little bit of technical drawing, which I then stuck with afterwards. There's something about it that's just so different from both of the projects that I did last time - I always like to work in different ways so that my portfolio is quite varied once uni is over. This did worry my last term, as I kept seeing other girls from the course really beginning to develop a style that made their work recognisable as their own; I don't have that. I've always thought that this is something that I need to have, but I think maybe showing a more diverse range of skills is just as impressive as having perfected a style of work to call your own.
Anyway, I've gone off track a little bit, but for the moment I think this more controlled way of drawing is really working for the subject matter - it's more than just drawing a piece of jewellery, it's a translation of its details. Perhaps taking it back to its original design plans or adding a more rigid, masculine element to the brooches. I'm not entirely sure where I'm going with this at the moment, but I'm enjoying this for now. All I know is that my end goal is to produce a range of luxury wallpapers, based on this subject matter. Something really interesting, with a good story behind it.
