Prior to my previous feedback, I took onboard what Jay suggested and researched animals, moods and other styles of graphics that I found I wanted to incorporate into my work. This led me to look at several other artists I hadn't approached before, letting my work expand further.
I met with Jay to discuss a lack of motivation to do this project - it's particularly overwhelming to do a project based on yourself, and I found it hard to create the work I envisioned in my head. I did take upon the advise to do little samples of what I wanted the work to look like, doing a few of these and limiting myself severely to the time contrast, and although I wasn't happy with them, they did lead me to develop the main final piece I was working on.
The advise I was given was to create more development and experiment with my ideas a bit more, which is why I delved into artist research - I looked at artists I was inspired by and tried to be/create something influenced by them. I managed to do this for my face, however, as said in the previous post, needed something for the background so I could finally finish one side of my face and work on the next. Overall I was overwhelmed by the amount given to me but by feedback I could narrow down how to progress on the work.
