Second half of B is for...Project...

Keeping to the idea of using objects beginning with B I liked the idea of including bubblegum/ bubblegum wrappers in my work. Keeping color in mind all the time I thought the more recent wrappers would be perfect but when researching old fashioned wrappers from 10, 20 years ago I thought it had a much more individual look. I did like the collage background to this but having a bubblegum machine just didn't work, I guess the focus was on the wrappers rather than the drawing.

I also tried to incorporate the pop art style of a person and the bubblegum wrappers into the same piece but I'm not sure it worked that well. Experimenting with the wrappers that then led me to bubblegum, the ball type. 

I used pencil crayon, collage, acrylic, watercolour and markers. I really liked the collage, the text, bright colours all combined I think look great, however  I also liked the marker, it was the brightest  and I tried to create an almost unfinished effect, like a scribble almost which I liked. 

I had originally drawn this shoe in my observational drawings and then I had the idea to combine all three ideas and have a sort of shoe stepping on the books idea. Because the shoes are almost in sections and in bright colours I tried a variety of different colour schemes and different materials. I again like the marker effect and also the colour scheme however the watercolour, although I like the drip effect I think the colour is a bit weak but I really like the pose on the watercolour image.

Again just trying some different materials and poses I think this collage is interesting, I like it. I was limited with the amount of collage I had so I had to really think about what went where, I liked the end result and as for the single line drawing I think its just a bit boring.

I didn't really like the composition or the idea in this image, I just don't think a bubblegum machine and a face work together.

I like the composition on the left , its sort of simple, it overlaps the gutter of the two pages which I sort of wanted so it links the two pages. I also like how the face above faces forwards and the bottom face is side on, I think it works.
