Drawing project number 1 Finished

Beginning number 2, The next drawing brief i have been given is an illustration project called the zodiac... I'm beginning with broad research into historical and contemporary zodiac symbols , we also have to focus on our own star sign , so mines a virgo , so ill explore that as well . Illustration is an intereptive style of drawing were you evoke an atmosphere .

Today i was taking photos on my camera through my telescope .. so im trying to set up so tonight i can take photos of the stars and constellations that relate to virgo .. there is also a full moon for the next three nights so it should be interesting .

Dress

I recently wrote an essay about a garment that belonged to my granny, its a beautiful dress that i found out out dated back to around the 1940s. I really enjoyed writing the essay and exploring the time that the dress came from.seens how it was from a war time i found it relevant to include it in my research for my collections project.
