Sketchbook Challenge Conclusion (Day 7)

Blog Thumbnail

Finally I completed the sketchbook within the set time of 7 days! It was a huge challenge and made me push myself a lot to iterate quickly while maintianing a level of readability and quality which I am very happy with. It cost me a lot of late nights and early starts and often induced fatigue, but through determination I managed to finish the whole book including most double sides (if there were no ink bleed) This challenge took place between 31/01/20 - 7/02/20.

Retrospectively, this was a really good way to extrapolate all of my ideas for this project and I am constantly going back through the book for self-inspiration and to put ideas into production. Improvements would be to push my sketching speed further and have a larger body of research as I found I had to go back and spend more time finding references which is expected but could have been avoided or at the very least reduced before-hand.

If I were to attempt this challenge again I would give myself 2 weeks instead, allowing myself to work only through the day and not all night, which would give me the opportunity on an evening to relax and/or gather more research for the next day.

All-in-all I have enjoyed the experience and feel very uplifted and impressed at my own potential, it has only made me push myself more and more as I continue with Ashes of EDEN.
