Scripting and Sketchbook

 These scans show the scripting process. This is quite early on and the page with the blur has been considerably shortened and reworked.
The blurred photo was taken out, and a number of identifiable components redacted.
I use cat and paste because for me it is faster and I put a value on speed of operation.
Often the pages in the script will have many layers of stuff stuck on them. Scribbles, quotes pages and sentences from the research that I have done. I started off with nearly 300 pages of research - 300 literally as I printed the bulk of them out.

Why print them out?

For me, once again this is quicker, also I can annotate them, draw on them, cut bits out and then re-assumble them.
All of which is slower and less intuitive than on a screen.
Also, I can lay out all the pages and shuffle them to get a good overview. On a screen you (well at least I do.) tend to just focus on one thing, which is why I try to get my students to use their sketchbooks. Incidentally, your handwriting will improve and secondly, no-one's going to be judging you on that in a sketchbook. Unless you're a Calligrapher.

This image, which was in the original show will probably go in as it is. Although I am wondering if I should massage it for a square format.
I've also noticed that several of the pictures are similar. So some new drawing/editing will be required.
