Try and focus in on details, or try to capture the 'feel' of the longer view. <br /><br />Consider your sketchbook spread to be a piece of design / reportage, rather than a purely representational painting, so be creative about how your fill it with various details and different aspects of what you can see. <br /><br />Try and incorporate little notes in your sketch, or graphic-style text, to record the sounds, smells and various small activities etc that happen in the location while you are there, as well as just what you see.<br /><br />Try not to mind people who come up to you - consider them part of the overall 'reportage' experience (and try to remember that onlookers are unlikely to be able to draw as well as you, no matter how disappointed you might be with your efforts!)<br /><br />Try and have fun - it's easy to get over anxious when in public, but the trick is not to be too precious and to relax a little.<br /><br />Finally, tell your course leader that I have a lecture focussing on this very aspect of drawing, specifically aimed at Higher Education Art & Design courses!!<br /><br />Good luck!Lynne the Pencilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18204943065923019653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4052428857190834923.post-6802579461448386152013-03-23T08:24:55.545+00:002013-03-23T08:24:55.545+00:00Hi im a student at Plymouth uni studying illustrat...Hi im a student at Plymouth uni studying illustration, the module we have been set is location drawing.
