STUDIO PRACTICE Statement of Intent Name Blog Address Sophie Poole Date Rationale I will be focusing on documentary drawing/reportage because this is where I want my practice to go throughout the year. I will look more into publication because I want to be able to make my practice look more professional this year. I will also be developing my monoprint technique using the briefs I have chosen because I want to explore the process more and strengthen my skills. I will also look more into book binding because I want my briefs to have a high quality finish. As well as this I will look into web comics and gifs to enhance my digital presence.
