Sketches: where IDEAS are born!

Revealing very first sketches (and the notes I made with them!) for the Big Draw poster commission - the first idea can be a winner, or can develop totally unexpectedly! 

1. Flamingo Drawing

Either people drawing flamingos, or the other way around!


2. Cupid



3. Drawing the World

People using art materials to create the world around them, world becoming more realistic in places, maybe a squirrel climbs through…



4. Pencils Don't Grow on Trees



5. Kids drawing

People drawing on the floor on lots of coloured paper, I could make a kind of pattern out of people and art materials. 



6. Pencil sharpener




6. Pencil sharpening


Ants either climbing or drawing on a roll of pencil sharpening that has been dropped outside – possibly grass shoots around. Coloured pencil flakes on ground. Could be quite graphic or earthy.

However crudely done, I wanted to show how important sketching out ideas is when developing how you think about something! And that I love the 'first ideas' part !

Thank you - and thank you Big Draw!
