Mind map of images inspired by revolution 

# data[].attributes.body
These were my first thoughts when talking about revolution and what came to mind when i wanted to do circles and things to do with the ocean. I immediately thought of waves, whirlpools and coral reefs but also planets, bikes, tornadoes and swirls.

My favourite initial idea was the ocean and coral reef research and how important they are to the ocean.

I used images i took at the Peter Kennard exhibition and drew the ones i liked the most and the tings i think represent his art as a whole.

# data[].attributes.body
Sticking with defined circle with waves theme i made this to try and make it more wave like but i think if this was painted and had a lower water effect in the middle hole it would've looked better. This method was very time consuming and i didn't like the overall product, i would like to attempt this again as there were lots of things id change.

# data[].attributes.body
Revolving means orbiting so i created a quick planet out of clay but didn't get any after pictures. i used a special tool to carve the craters in the planet and a wet sponge to smooth the whole ball out, creating a even circle was very hard without an template but i evened it out as much as i could.

# data[].attributes.body
Wanted to experiment with the idea of rotation within revolving so i decided to stick with the theme of waves and things revolving around a clear circle. After i made this it ended up looking more like a flower that a whirlpool that i had imagined but it still had the defined circle in the middle.

# data[].attributes.body
I was just trying out lots of shapes with the paper and ended up with a flower shape, i was hoping for it to look more like waves with the defined circle like the rest of my project so far so i tried with different shapes.

# data[].attributes.body
After adding lighting to the paper sculpture it showed all the imperfections in the paper and cuts i made but overall it made it look better with the lighting. This was just a starting idea as i still have no idea what my project will be about but this is just my experimentation with out the circle effect looks.

# data[].attributes.body
I found that for a simple design like this adding two contrasting colours of light made a nice effect. It made the piece look better and you can see less imperfections, but i still don't like how this came out, i wanted a clear wave effect but i think next time if i add more bits of paper it will make it look less like a flower.

# data[].attributes.body
This was another simple paper experiment that i was also wanted to have a defined circle in the middle but i think its too simple and the top part was bent in a odd way.

# data[].attributes.body
I used lots of different photos i had to create an experimentation piece full of little parts from other photos, i used 7 photos in total, a plane wing, gizmo the cat, daisy the dog, my dad, fire from the table, fish from the aquarium and a photo of a path with lights and plants from greece. I liked this image because some photos that i added are really obvious but some are more subtle and you have to look harder to see them, they blend it better whereas more are in contrast to the whole photo.

# data[].attributes.body
For this piece i tried something simpler but just layering my original image over the background image, i think this looks nice because all the colours in the photo match but i would improve it by adding shadows to make it look less 2D.

# data[].attributes.body
This was the final piece that we were meant to make and i think if i had chosen a better background image i would've liked the outcome more but because the picture behind is really detailed, you can't tell what it is without seeing more of it or looking closely.

# data[].attributes.body
I used this picture of my sister and some fish to practise layering and opacity with my pictures, i preferred the look of the shadow being the fish rather than the whole outline of her being the background image.

# data[].attributes.body
I liked this piece because it has lots of types of "revolving" things the ballerina twirling and the bike wheel being in the centre looks like it could be a real picture.

# data[].attributes.body
the more words i used the more random the art became and this piece looked like a pool within the sea where one lady was sun lounging.

# data[].attributes.body
i like the idea of circles being in the centre and the waved crashing against it.

# data[].attributes.body
For this ai piece i put in the words ocean, tornado and circle. to me this piece looks like something that can be used as a logo for a beach company.

# data[].attributes.body
Lots of the Ai images i designed ended up coming out a lot like the photos i collected off of google for my first mind map.

# data[].attributes.body
For this image we experimented with colours and grayscale, top image was gray scale and the bottom image was using 16 colours only.

# data[].attributes.body
To continue my experimentation of revolving i decided to draw on illustrator a whirlpool, it was hard to get the lines in the correct position because i was drawing with a mouse but i liked how it turned out.

# data[].attributes.body
I found that making the shading darker in the middle had a better ocean affect than all one colour.

# data[].attributes.body
All of these ideas are based on whirlpools, tornadoes, circles, bikes and water.

Further character design and character drawing practise

For this page i drew a grumpy shark character and a octopus with 4 arms who is a boxer, a lot of these are for cartoons and kids books not anything serious. I also added annotation to each of these characters to summarise what i was intending for it to look like and what emotions i wanted.

I also decided to draw some of the inside out characters as an experiment and i ended up liking how they ended up; i think i prefer drawing when i have something to look at and take ideas from or i am copying something. I didn't want to ruin them with colour so i only did one character in full colour, and i prefer just the pencil response rather than colour.

# data[].attributes.body
I drew some planets for my orbiting page and i used illustrator to add colour and life to my drawing, but i liked how it looked in black and white more than colour because the shading looked better and more realistic when they were in black and white.

# data[].attributes.body
I experimented in photoshops with the colour options to make different variations of the same image, i liked how i could customise every different colour to make the image exactly how i wanted.

# data[].attributes.body
This was the final product of all the circles creating a wave and i decided to add different colours in between the dark blue to add more detail. If i were to do this again i would create smaller circles to make more detail in the shape of the overall wave and more colours to make it look more realistic; even though this would take more time i think the overall outcome would look more realistic.

# data[].attributes.body
This was a quick drawing to map out where i wanted to put my bubbles in the later design.

# data[].attributes.body
I wanted to create a plain illustration and i don't like this one as much as the first because it doesn't have much depth or detail to it whereas the first has a lot of different shades and colours that blend nicely, this is all one colour and is boring.

# data[].attributes.body
This was a character i drew in my book and then brought to life on illustrator and i think it would be more of a children's book character more than a film or tv series. Drawing this was easy because i had to original to look back to but i also changed a few things by laving the middle of the puddle white to show the face off and also blending the arms in so they look more natural, i made his face angry almost to show like him being wet, uncomfortable and fed up. This would be a grumpy character in the background, not a main happy character.

# data[].attributes.body
This was my updated version of the original and i am happy with how it turned out because its more vibrant and less serious, i like how he doesn't have a mouth or any feature other than his big eyes. i did this because not all characters have to speak and it also makes him more mysterious but he still looks less mean than the original.

# data[].attributes.body
For this we were experimenting with adding different points on the characters we made and used them to drag out the points of focus, for this one i made his arms go in towards his body and his eyes go out.

# data[].attributes.body
I liked using this feature especially for this character because it ties into the fact that he's a puddle and will change shape and size often. I also like how it can change the whole vibe of a character by moving only a few points, this version looks a lot more goofy and less judgemental.

Jean Shin is an American artist who is known for creating big sculptures which are site-specific which makes her art really unique and she also only uses waste materials to create her pieces.

# data[].attributes.body
This was a quick drawing page of planets to see if i would like to continue using this idea.

Katsushkai Hokasi was a Japanese artist who was mainly known for his woodblock work, i chose to look into his work because of his style of making the ocean. If i decide to make the ocean for my final piece i want to take in lots of ideas of how to draw it and make it look realistic.

Harriet Hellman is a process led ceramics artists who focuses on landscapes and environmental work. She works with both ceramics and glass while also running her own workshop for people to learn ceramics, she also has her own exhibition.

I really like her work because its unique and how all the edges and bumps are part of the end result making each one different.

I used procreate to make all my shell drawings, I found this easiest because I am most used to this app and I prefer drawing on my iPad than the drawing pads for photoshop or illustrator.

# data[].attributes.body
I started out with a basic outline of the shells and used a template to base them off of so they looked reasonably the same.

# data[].attributes.body
I then added all of the shading and made sure to separate everything into layers so if I made a mistake it wouldn't ruin the basics of each part.

# data[].attributes.body
In the future I would've preferred to save the drawings as something else instead of a screenshot because it really ruined the quality and didn't show all the detail added.

# data[].attributes.body
I made lots of colours as I took inspiration from courtney mattisons work and hers is very colourful.

# data[].attributes.body
I got all my drawings of shells and put them together on photoshop, this took a long time because I first tried to arrange it like my artist, Courtney Mattison, but I didn't like how it looked compared to hers. I think it made it very unclear that this was a revolving circle so I changed the style of my final piece to more of a whirlpool from my initial ideas. After creating this I added a few drop shadows to some of the shells to make it look like the sun was shining on top of it, like someone had just made this on the sand at the beach. I like the range of colours I used because I wanted them to be more pastel rather than bright neon colours.
