I've decided that if I'm going to draw, I'm going to accumulate as many drawings as possible (within a visual theme) and put it all together in a print book, showing all the works I've done over 6 weeks.
(This can also be used as my portfolio after university).
I really want to entice my audience ot be intruiged by my book and want to pick it up;
I like the idea of making somehting that is a parody or replication of an art book with the wire spines.
However, I want to push this idea and expand on only creating something that only implies the idea of creative themes, then really exposes it on the inside. Making my audience say 'wow' at the start will be enough of a hook.

He epxlained that, although these pictures are dope, I need to have something that brings all these together; a narrative of some sort.
Who? - who is this for, and who is this about?
What? - what is happening / going to happen?
Why? - why am I doing my project on this?
After a bit of consideration, these are my answers so far;
This is about my journey as an illustrator who likes to draw a lot. - a visual theme will be current.
I'm hoping to show pictures that are curated well enough that they are something tasty to look at; something that I said earlier was making my audience say 'wow'.
I am intending on pressing the idea of these pictures as a way to deal with anxiety, as majority of these detailed pictures are often used as a coping mechanism.
As for why, I like the idea of exposing my (somewhat) healthy rituals to others, in hopes of showing the potential behind creative expression.
Today in class, when I presented a series of my works, a few people were drawn to particular ones saying how much they liked them, and would often begin to talk about how they 'used' to draw and gave it up, and they should start doing it again.
I want to endorse drawing as a healthy form of expression
