What is working?
- I think that I have finally put my finger on the image of the gambler after many attempts. It has a nice transience and contrast to it and the figure is finally in proportion. All I need to do is print it slightly darker like the original.
- I think that the book flows really nicely with the pairings of objects and locations, which is broken up nicely by the text on page one. I also think having big margins on all of the pages works well to unite the content and ensure that the pages aren't too overcrowded.
- Having quite a simple plane cover, simply exhibiting the the title works well because it it such a busy book. I think that having an image on the cover would be too much.
- I am concerned that I have come somewhere between creating a jarring contrast between images and not. I am worried that the negative of the wheel sticks out too much? Could I balance this by using a vignette of another object or another negative? Or could I make the black surrounding it less dense?
- I'm really unsure about the bracelet page and I can't put my finger on it. I think maybe its too over exposed? I could try adding more pencil detail?
- I am not sure about the bush on page 11. I have done two versions of it but neither really stands out to me. I think both look overcrowded. Should I approach drawing this in a more simplistic way? - just using ink? .. or I could add more contrast to the foreground to crate a grater sense of space
- I am also unsure about the image of the girl on page 10. I like it as it but can I simply present a photograph in my book? This is something I need to ask the others tomorrow.
- I am also concerned about the fisherman on the back page, is he too random??
How am I going to move forward?
- I am going to raise these concerns in my crit tomorrow and see if the others have the same opinion before I move forward and start creating more artwork.
