For the second part of assignment 1, which is to show what i hate to do, my initial idea was to say 'I hate barbed wire' because i cannot imagine being pricked by some. So below are some of the thumbnail sketches that i did and the first 3 would be different representations of barbed wire twisted around to form my name 'Ben'.

Barbed wire 1


Barbed wire 2


Barbed wire 3


For this sketch i decided to change my idea to 'I hate thorns', since i hate being being pricked by them and i have had a real experience of scratching my arm against some thorns. I have never been pricked by barbed wire and so it's more personal. I came up with a rough sketch as this and developed it further.


I further developed the above sketch into a rough prototype which is shown below.


Finally, i added in some colour and did some touch-ups to come up with the final piece shown below.
