Though this module I have learned a lot of skills and approaches to make the illustration. I gained much helpful knowledge of image making and understand better what illustration means. The course started with some very basic practice. I remember we had one task was observational drawing session, then we need to draw from reference, and at that time I was focusing how to remember every single detail of the image and replicate that, but I realized was wrong, that is not what reference mean. It reminds me of the time I was doing fine art, we need to draw sculptures, and I want to draw that outline shape correctly, want it to look just like a real statue, so sometimes we even can spend two weeks on just drawing that one painting of the sculpture’s head. But illustration is different. I feel like it is about image making more than drawing. What I learned the most about were composition and frame. I did aware this is one of my weakness before, but this course helped me to make progress in that area. We had serval session was about composition, taught us about use depth in an interesting way, using props to create depth and using the line to full advantage… all very helpful things to help me make pictures. Even now when I create images, I need to think about what composition I should use. In this module, I have also experimented with many different ways to make a picture. For example collage, I haven’t played with collage before, but though this module I gradually have that interest in collage. When I see something interesting from newspaper or magazine, I will cut it down and put it in my collage material box, which helps me easy to find an element for my new collage work. Another tool I began to like about though this course was the screen print. I like the outcome from the screen print workshop; I am excited to do more screen printing for my work. Overall I am much enjoyed this module, it is not just only opened my eyes and show me how many approaches we can use in illustration, but also the thinking. Before I study this course I didn’t notice have much consideration we need to put in to make images, we need to think about many aspects of composition and frame, line quality, etc. I am pleased that I completed this module
