On the one hand, I really enjoyed doing 'messy', quite quick gestural brush drawings for the zine brief with ink and bleach (above), which I think convey the themes and tone of Carter's stories (at least in The Bloody Chamber), but on the other I really love drawing comics that focus on humour, narrative and storytelling - something I identified in PPP last year.
I'd love to be able to do both (and even a variety of other things), but since this year is about specialising and starting to think about our professional practice, I think I have to choose to only focus on the comics, since that's what I enjoy most and would rather do for a living.
I'm still struggling with my own personal style - I don't really have one yet. Last year I did a lot of things inspired by other artists, and still haven't quite grasped how I personally draw things (like faces/people). I just wish we had more time to experiment!
