In the afternoon we had to go to the ares around the Photography gallery in London as document the communities. To the South and East of the Gallery there is China Town which is home to London’s largest Chinese community and east beyond that there is a large Italian Community centred around the famous Bar Italia. I wanted to expand my documentary illustration skills by looking at a combination of people, objects and buildings from the various locations. For my sketches I used pencils and biros as they’re medium I’m comfortable with even when having to work fast.
I think through these sketches I was able to capture the important bits of the communities that give them their identity. Generally documentary illustration is something I’m growing more confident with and I think the next step will be to expand on the mediums I use.
