I learnt the significance of keeping energy in your like work when a fellow peer of mine named Olive said to me how when I spent time meticulously drawing the aces within the repeat pattern I lost al lot of the energy and charm that came form being vey instant with my sketching. As a result I am looking more towards the energy of the expressions within the line work than perfection.

| Creating the wine glasses was simple but working out how to get the visuality of liquid wine within the glass was harder so I experimented a lot with different medias such as ink, posca pens, gouache, markers, sharpies and watercolour and found that the sharpies where more effective in that they allowed the expression of the character to be seen through the liquid. |
Due to the crafted element of my characters it was suggested to me that I use hand lettering to write any speech or instructions in my book within a crit. However after many different experiments with both hand written and default type I didn't like the way it was looking so decided to use a hand drawn custom type. In hindsight I should have left some time to improve on my lettering and give it more though and consideration. This is something that I need to develop in my repertoire for my own personal practice.
