Visual Narratives- Development of Image

The biggest struggle I am having at the minute is developing the actual image of the buildings. Although I am really happy with the images I have produced and in general the look of the image, I fell as though I have not made a huge development from my initial visual responses to the research.

The issue is I feel like I my have to produce more developments of the image to 'tick boxes' or to gain marks on assessment, however I am torn between doing that and actually producing work that I want to produce which I currently am. I'm finding myself filling my sketchbook with just shit that is trying to look like there has been a thought toward a specific feature of the images, when in fact there hasn't, it is purely done because I wanted to make the mark the way I did, not necessarily practised, but how I want it to look.

I think that I need to stop getting so worked up about gaining marks, because it's getting in the way of me making pictures, maybe I need to speak to Matt/Jamie about this? However I think for now I need to start making images that I am happy to be in the final product.
