505: more sketchbook development

As advised in the last tutorial I've just continued working on experimenting with media and really I've just been having fun with my sketchbook. I'm finding that I'm really enjoying using gouache. I'm not really skilled at it but am really enjoying it and like how it can be really playful and fun. I'm feeling really inspired at the minute by painter Miroco Machiko.

I'm realising that I need to start on streamlining the project, and will begin to design characters and stories and words. I like the idea of "would you want to be big and crush your fears or small and hide from them" and the problems that both face (in a literal sense), or maybe not even to do with fears at all. But this is quite loose ended and doesn't really have a real conclusion. I also have in mind a way of presenting that we should be brave and face possibilities instead of hiding from them, because they are either a) not as bad as we think they are b) there is a way around them. This could be presented in quite a literal sense.

I need to get thinking!!!
