I did a large series of technical drawings of various engineering concepts I have knowledge of, after doing this I boud all these images to create a sketchbook like manuscript similar to the sketchbooks of Leonardo Da Vinci I have researched earlier in this project. The intention of this series of work was to explore the methodology of Da Vinci whilst also showing and developing my preexisting knowledge of engineering and mechanical concepts. I also wanted to practise technical drawing a skill I may need to use again at later stage in this project, although i’m not best suited to drawing it is a necessary skill, unfortunately. This work was inspired by the research I did into Da Vinci but the knowledge displayed within the book came from my memory and is based on things I’ve been taught or learned through research in my earlier life. I feel the work work was successful in that it fulfilled its purpose, however I think that my lack of drawing skill drag down the quality of work and meant it didn't look as engaging or authentic as I could have hoped. In the future I plan to continue to use a vintage aged look in my works but I will avoid the more two dimensional mediums. My next step will be more artist studies and evaluation followed by design ideas.
