UNI SKETCHBOOK TOUR | Developing an Illustration Style

A tour of a few of my sketchbooks from my third year BA Illustration degree at Falmouth University. Looking at my progression and how I developed my illustration 'style'
#sketchbook #illustration #sketchbooktour
I show my process of working through a project start to finish and also some print making experiments - it's all very messy but I really enjoyed looking back through these so thank you for watching!

Thank you so much for this. I'm considering applying to Falmouth to study Illustration part-time, online. Your experience and reflections are really inspiring.

[@SophieMelissa]

Thank you! Falmouth is a brilliant university, especially the illustration department - they really care about each student and prepared me for life after! Couldn’t recommend them more :)

Simon: I'm on the part-time online MA in illustration at Falmouth. It's great. Sophie: lovely sketchbooks. Very inspiring. Thanks!

I am not an artist but i loveeeee seeing stuff like that, they are kind of ... calming (?). c: And also inspiring, because i actually love having notebooks where i just put my thoughts, ideas, drawings - even if i am really bad at it, ahahah. But they are definitely not as creative as this one, but since i saw quite a lot of people doing sketchbooks recently, I am thinking of having one. - Ronnie. x

Thank you! Collages especially are really calming to make so I would recommend! The best thing about sketchbooks is knowing there's no 'wrong way to do it' so go for it! xx
