Digital doodles; as an extension of my summer work I tried out doing some monochrome digital drawing of some of the female characters in Murakami's book. While this isn't pushing boundaries particularly in terms of concept I wanted to try out a different media.
Thoughts; grayscale limitations made me think about weight of line and stylisation. Thought these images are nice, I don't feel this style would be appropriate in communicating the more mature and sophisticated atmosphere Murakami creates in his literature.

Task; today’s task pushed me slightly out of my comfort zone in
terms of how I would normally go about making work. The more abstract tasks of
communicating through typography and abstract mark making wasn’t a way I would
normally think about tackling a brief.
Experience; the subversion of colour task was an interesting concept, when drawing such melancholy subject matter the habit of going for stereo-typically ‘sad’ colours such as blue is a little cliche. Subverting this colour to pink actually gave the character a much more fragile and venerable aura – something possibly worth exploring.
