Well folks, it's finally finished!
And it is an incredible relief. In all honesty, the last few months have been very difficult for me with trying to meet many deadlines and just trying to keep my head above water. With everything that I have been juggling, this project often felt like a chore, and I had a hard time setting aside time to work on it.
This was my second year doing the project, and at times I found that very intimidating. Knowing that I was making a video to share of my process and the completed sketchbook, it seemed like there was some sort of expectation in comparison to my book last year. After I finished my sketchbook, I watched the video that I made from the 2012 Sketchbook Project. It was kind of shocking to see how much I have grown as in my artistic pursuits. I feel like I have developed more of a defined style in my illustration.
In terms of the video process, a lot of the initial sketching and drawing portions were done during breaks at school and other times when I couldn't film it. The film that was captured, however, is sped up to where one minute of the raw footage is shown in one second in the video.
About a week ago, I wasn't sure that I would have my sketchbook finished to send off for the January 15th deadline and I felt quite defeated. But I am really glad that I was actually able to finish it, because I now have successfully participated in this project for two years. The sketchbooks that I have made are not about exploring a specific idea or anything--instead they are about creating small pieces of art that might happen to inspire some larger scale pieces in the future.
If you are interested, the video is posted here: https://vimeo.com/57327498. The songs used are by Andrew Bird and Mum.
I really hope you enjoy it!
