It is very important to represent the music and the artist, so I hope that by extensively researching, I will accomplish this at the end.
 Some of my notes in the book, based on Kate Bush.  |

The original album cover art for 'The Hounds of love', (which for the record, was her fifth studio album, released in 1985), can be seen above.
I have the idea of attempting to use elements of dance as part of the final cover, I will of course sew how this works though drafts.
I already have a few ideas in my head, and I wish to explore them through development.
I have begun my development by sketching Kate in a variety of poses whilst watching her dance in such music videos as 'Wuthering Heights', 'Running Up That Hill', and 'Babooshka'.
I have implemented some colour in a few select sketches, so I can remember the colour of her clothes.
As you can see in the images above, I am far from my comfort zone. I am not used to creating such basic and featureless work, however by doing so I feel as if I am getting to the bare root of Kate, as an artist.
The rough sketches highlight movement and dance. I would love to incorporate this theme into my album cover. I will be looking to concept this in the future.
To help aid me in my research, I have also been watching this documentary on Kate Bush, (below).
It was originally aired by the BBC, in 2014. it is a very good documentary, that really goes into depth about her style, as well as her early career.
Whilst watching the documentary I once again started to sketch her.
