As I have continued the Drawing club after school activity this semester, I really want to explore into new ideas and areas in my drawing. I continue to find images for inspiration through the internet and then sketch on a blank piece of paper to mimic the image. In the past I would always sketch images of characters from TV shows that I watch but this semester I have expanded from that area and started sketching album covers and shirt designs. Exploring more of a variety of images to sketch, really made me enjoy drawing club even more and inspired me to continue improving on my drawing skills. Here are two sketches that I have already drawn during the sessions I've had so far:
The first drawing is my sketch of the 'FireBird' logo, which is a clothing brand. I decided to sketch this logo because I was determined to draw any sleek-looking design during one drawing club session and the logo on the T-shirt I was wearing that day was just perfect. The second drawing is my sketch of an album cover by 'Carnifex', which is one of my favourite metal bands. I was actually most passionate in completing this sketch than any other one I've done in drawing club before. This is because I find music and art to have a very strong link to each other, especially since I listen to music with my earphones while I sketch. So I discovered that opening my mind to sketching my favourite band album covers, while listening to their music, made me feel most comfortable and satisfied. There definitely will be more album cover sketches to come from me in the future, which is why I will also be continuing drawing club as my creativity in the second block of after-school activities.
