Dream Journal - Entry 1

This is the first double page spread of my Dream Journal.
I decided to use only watercourse, fine liners and coloured pencils for this page.

I found it enjoyable trying to create an illustration from the brief bullet points I made about whatever I could remember from the dream I had the night before.

I began by making a few bullet points about what I could remember and then I worked from there. I didn't exactly incorporate the text into the illustration, I just worked around it.

Luckily for me, what I could remember was an enjoyable horse ride at night. So I decided to create a small scenery of myself riding a horse and I included any small features I could remember. 

I liked working in this format of writing down my memories first and then working from there. I may try to somehow incorporate the text into my illustrations next time.

Dream Journal

I have decided to document my dreams everyday for a fortnight in an A5 sketchbook as part of the summer homework.

 I shall be making notes on what happened in my dream the night before as well as illustrating them.

So, everyday for the next fortnight I shall aim to post a photograph of my illustrations and brief descriptions of my dreams.

I want the work in this "dream journal" to be as visually descriptive as possible using only hand drawn methods.

LET'S DO THIS!
