Reflective practice.

How does reflection improve my practice ? Well, as a person who tends to generally reflect and over analyse most things I do this is standard ! I tend to go look at work my peers are producing, read twitter posts by artists such as David Shrigley , who as an illustrator gives me insight into the daily working practice of life in this area of work. I intend to create a Portfolio career so illustrating forms part of my future and current work. I am also planning my trip next week to sketch in the V&A for two days where my illustrating skills will be put into action. I intend to focus on sketching trees, florals, geometric shapes and birds from various ceramic collections. This will form the basis of my surface pattern design for my final pots and also a useful collection of prints to support my project.
