Small brief // Papyrus // Research BRIEF: To create an adult colouring style visual representation of something which helps you feel calm and relaxed. It should be landscape A3 in 0.3mm fine liner pen. It may be included in a colouring book to raise awareness and funds for Papyrus, the prevention of young suicide charity. Key ideas: - Things that make me relaxed: Knitting; cups of herbal tea; yoga; meditation
I decided to focus on knitting, as I started knitting again when I was going through a tough time, and I wanted to share this experience with other people. Also, I have a personal connection to suicide and mental health with my close family, so this was really a project close to my heart. I started by knitting a small section of wool, and posing so my friend could take some photos. I then mixed this with a chunky knit jumper during drawing to get the effect I desired. I found the actual drawing of the image relaxing in itself, and found the experience of working for something with a real purpose to be such an eye-opening, enlightening experience, which I would definitely like to repeat.
