The Friday drawing sessions have really allowed me to grow and develop my drawing skills throughout this brief. Although I have previously learnt a lot of the techniques in my foundation year, I still found that I was gaining insight into who I am as an artist through my drawing.
The most important session for me was when we created our own drawing tools. I went into the session completely close minded thinking it was absolutely ridiculous and wondering why I was paying for this. This mind set continued until we began to draw. The marks that I made, and the finished drawings I had at the end of the session, were some of my favourites out of all the drawings I had done throughout Friday drawing. It showed me that just because I think its ridiculous and stupid, doesn't mean it won't work and isn't beneficial. Before the session it was the last thing I wanted to do and now I'm quite excited to try it again.

During this session I made a very big mistake with one of my drawings. I used my can with the holes in it and filled it with watered down ink to let it spill out of the holes and onto the page. However it completely overflowed and went everywhere. Much to my surprise, it created some very nice patterns in the water and interesting shapes and textures on the page.
