(B1) SKETCHES

-
I tried to illustrate the struggle of not being able to switch off at night. It is something I constantly suffer with, as well as many people. This has caused me to sleep around two hours a night and can be hard (although fairly used to it now). I was not sure how to show this and just drew what came to mind. I usually have a more photorealism approach but, I wanted these to be quick, almost comic like images. The more I look at this one, the more I do not like it, it is not really my style and would not be something I want to put out in the world. 
This illustration was much different and I was far happier with it. It has that comic appearance that I wanted and I think it accurately depicts that mask we put on ourselves to tackle the day. The shapes also gave it a little more direction, I can see how I can develop it already whereas in the last illustration I did not. 
I tried to keep the style of the last illustration when drawing this. I suppose out of all three this one is directly linked to BPD, specifically splitting, which is a term used to describe the rapid switch in moods. Most examples that reference this are "I hate you, don't leave me", "0-100", etc. I tried to show this by having both the arms appear to be from the same person, but one is the extreme rage and the other is the guilt and low experienced commonly after the rage. Tearing the paper seemed appropriate to really show the split of the person.

Gothic style can vary depending on location, age and the type of building (the purpose as such). However, to identify these buildings architects use five key architectural features: Large stained glass windows This is why gothic architecture is usually associated with places of worship as this feature is prevalent in Gothic cathedrals. "Featuring meticulously cut coloured glass" which are usually tall and arched windows (lancet) or round (rose). Often taller than the windows typically seen in churches. The idea is to let in technicolour light.  It is also known that these windows frequently feature tracery, which is decorative stone support. Pointed arches Another identifiable feature is the pointed arches. These are found in most places of worship i.e churches and cathedrals. It is suggested that the pointed style of these arches was taken from Islamic architecture rather than the typical Romanesque buildings found typically in Europe. The idea behind the shape of these wind...
