Description Second of two pieces I did for my drawing semester work at uni. You can see them both together here in my scraps

[link]

This one basically represents the stage when I finally do get to sleep and the dreams that ensue. Essentially it's just random imagery (eg. the banana). I wanted to create a kind of claustrophobic feeling to the dream because really, it's going to be over very quickly as it's time to get up soon lol. So it feels like all the dreaming I have to do gets crammed into short five minute bursts of randomness.

This should really be multi media, but as I passed it off as a drawing for the markers I may as well pass it off for one her too It's basically all on paper mache type surface. Layers and layers of tissue and paper towel + alot of water and glue. It was a bit of a stupid idea really because when it dried it became like concrete...so it was like drawing on concrete with a felt tip pen, and we all know how hard that is..right?

Anyway hope you like

I used acrylic paint for moat of it, then when it dried I used some yellow, blue, orange and pink highlighters in small parts to make it brighter

Have used pen on similiar surfaces though fortunately smaller than yours (probably) one of those things that seems like a good idea at the time eh

You are very welcome...

I can imagin that the proces is a bit different when you have a deadline... I usually get impaiting myself and just want to get it done, but I haven't really tried working towards a deadline...
I do know that I do some of my best work when I am under sonme kind of pressure, even if it is selfinflicted...

Deadlines make me do my best non-artistic work, like essays. But I've found that deadlines kind of ruin every artwork that I have one for. Not so much ruin, I'm just left a bit unsatisfied and think about how I 'should' have done it. But this one is ok
