WORK PROGRESS
To start the project, I have to watch the nature documentary which is approximately 1 hour 30 minutes long to gather information of what I should decide to draw and write about. I jot down all the different types species of flora and fauna along with the natural phenomenas shown in the video.
After that, I finalise the stuffs I want to show in my journal and start researching about them. At the same time, I draw the drafts of the designs and layout of the journal for tutorial sessions.
​
With everything confirmed by the tutor, I start to paint everything and ink. I also give the illustrations a few final touch-ups here and there such as texture and shadows and write down all the informations with varying sizes of felt-tip pens I'd researched beforehand. I then compile everything together and plastic bend them.
REFLECTION
At the completion of this nature journal, I have learnt to identify the various types of elements in natural environment found in the world. Not only that, I am also able to describe the different characteristics of nature by exploring the basic natural elements such as topography, landscape and etc.
​
I have learnt how to transfer my thoughts and feelings into words and graphics where I can unleash my creativity in the way that I am to think how to make my nature journal an interesting yet pleasant one to read.
​
In conclusion, it was very fun to produce my own journal as it was the first time doing so. I always wanted to make one when I saw those daunting journals in the internet when I was in high school but I did not have the time to do so. Thanks to this project, the journal was possible.
