Playing with liquid...

..leads to a soggy sketchbook. My sketchbook now has a faint whiff of fake Pimms, I suppose this is quite fitting really as I'm exploring the whisky spill theme.

Anyway, the results of playing with liquid. Can hopefully manipulate these in photoshop to make some kind of brush. or at least use them as inspiration.

Looking at liquid

I've been experimenting slightly with painting and drawing spills in my sketchbook.

UPDATE

I have decided to make my interactive piece into an accompaniment application for the book, certain areas (scenes, chapters, key evets) will be scanned using the phone (somehow) and this will bring up the interactive options such as:

• Map - Where the event takes place and what else is featured there
• Characters - Who is there and their character profile
• Language - Gaelic Explanations
• Quotes - Memorable quotes
• Artwork - Interpretations of the scene and imagery

Research: Drawings
