Scans of my physical “journal” and planningego prep 1

Prep 1

Most of them look like doodles that probably only I can understand. But really they serve as mental “hints” to me who has all the compositions in my head ><

It is possible to somewhat decipher the few which made it into my final works though…

About the scribbles and words:

Prep 1: at one point I considered using masked faces for my compositions. It was at the point that I still thought I could do 12 illustrations, so at the top right hand side you see a list of 12 “masks” I considered drawing.
Bottom left i wrote out which aspects of possible compositions do i want to draw in more detail, and bottom right I considered the colors and how they could interact and flow in the entire 12 pictures.

Prep 2: The main words in these is the ones in pen on the right. In the 3 columns, it says:

“Seat, Run, Stand, Lie”
“Purple, Red, Turquoise, Lime green”
“Jap?, Chinese, Elizabethan, Chinese/Greek”

These refer to my initial considerations for my final four compositions in terms of position, color and clothing/style respectively. They all needed to include parts of myself yet I did not want any of them to be redundant. Some of them changed as I went along… I will try to explain the thoughts and considerations in every composition in the next few posts.
