Advanced Drawing & Authorial Practice Module Evaluation

In reflection of the Advanced Drawing section of this module, I have made a major improvement in my drawing skills, both from first-hand observation and reference. One particular part of the module I am pleased with is my final project, which helped me to focus on what I wanted to illustrate, and in what ways, in my future artistic career. This is turn helped me begin to define what kind of illustrator I am. Within this module however, I am disappointed that I did not get the opportunity to explore and develop further the tasks we were given. Also, I recognised a lack of colour and medium exploration in my Advanced Drawing work, an issue which I am attempting to resolve.

In reflection of the Authorial Practice section of this module, I feel that I have significantly expanded the range of colour and mediums that I use in my work. I am pleased that I have been able to undertake self-initiated illustration projects - helping me to keep focused and produce work on a regular basis. Despite these positives, I have had a similar problem with a lack of development in my authorial work, as I have put a minimal focus on that side of the module - with Advanced Drawing deeming itself the priority.


Overall, I have seen positive improvement with my drawing skills and use of colour and foreign mediums in my authorial work. On the other hand, there is a lack of exploration and development as evidenced in both parts of this module.
