When starting my big drawing I didn't really know where to start. I did several experiments using different medias such as, oil bars, charcoal, pastels, pencils and graphite on a smaller scale to see what worked well and what didn't.
I started by mark making using splats of ink and flicking ink on to the page. This made the big white piece of paper seem easier to start working on as it wasn't as daunting. 
I then starting to think about what I was actually going to draw and how it was going to relate to my project, so I started drawing around Cd's and doing lots of mark makings, making the drawing abstract.
Adding video tape to my drawing gave it textile quality and made it almost 3D in areas.
I continued doing mark makings which were very expressive and angry. This relates to how the fans of the Stone Roses would have felt when the band first split. I also added manipulated and broken up Cd's to show the same feelings. 
I added Ian Brown's lyrics into the drawing and thought of ways of combining them into my drawing.
I wanted to bring stitch into my work to make it more interesting and create more textures.
This is an image of the final drawing. I'm pleased with the final outcome and I like the way its abstract but areas of it are very obvious so its a mix of both. I also liked working with black and white medias. Adding resources and materials to it gives it a slight 3D style which I think is interesting.
