Visual recording in Art & Design - Unit 1: Task 5

Task 5: Review your artwork and research so far, and choose one illustration to develop into a final outcome of a fashion illustration, of a clothed figure of your choice. Say why you think that this is the best idea to develop as your final piece, and describe how you will produce your outcome with planning notes or sketches.

Researching historical and contemporary illustrators gave me lots of inspirations about fashion illustrations.

I wasn't interested so much in drawing fashion, because I am always anxious about making what I ve got in mind.

I want to draw some fabrics to practise and I want to make a tridimensional drawing using real fabric and I want to add some decorative splashes.

I did some photos of the different phases of my project

I have retraced a photo of a model from a magazine, drawing a different outfit an other face.

I have put the fabric I wanted to use for the outfit on top of a lightpad and retraced the different colours and lines of the tartan fabric, with pencils.

I have painted with watercolours legs, hands, face and hair. I used liquid golden leaf to paint the shoes and golden leaf for the blouse.

I have shaped the different parts of the outfit and glued on paper with a sealer. I have tried to give a sense of a plated skirt, cutting different stripes of fabric and glue them one slightly on top of the other.

When the outfit was dried, I have shaped a green ribbon to give the outlines of the jacket. I used another one to do the waistline of the skirt as well.

I add some splashes of liquid golden leaf and watercolours.

This piece it is my favourite by far, I am happy with the face traits, I am happy with the composition and pose of the model.

I am really happy with the results of the fabric, both pencil and real one.

I have done a frame with another A3 paper.

Kimono inspirations, Task 1 -Unit 4

Task 1: Research your interpretation of the theme of "KIMONO". Consider the following ways of generating and developing ideas: mind mapping, word association, primary source photography and drawing, internet & book research, making samples and prototypes. Being honest with you, I do not have ideas for this unit yet, so I am going to try some different techniques to gain some info and ideas. I don't know so much about kimonos in order to deconstruct the idea of it, I will collect some informations and inspirations. First I did a mind mapping of some basic technical info about kimonos: Then some word associations with all the thing that comes in my mind right now... (about kimonos, but just to let you know I am thinking about making some gnocchi too...) Because I have mentioned that, there are many kinds of Kimono types and of obi styles, I will collect some photos of the differences between each type, in order to see which could be my inspirat...

TROUSERS - History and preparation for UNIT 121: pattern Construction

Xmas Holidays,be festive, home chores, homework for January, homework for the holiday period, meanwhile working in a new place... I always plan to relax and be lazy for the holidays, as well because I usually work more during the festive seasons ( damn hospitality jobs) but I always ended up in my studio trying to make something new (usually with meltdowns involved) or studying (looking nerdier than what people could think). So, here I am on my first official real day off, just after Xmas, searching and collecting info about my next Unit, Unit 121. Unit 121, it's a fashion college unit, about Pattern Construction, in this case, Trousers construction. (with all this Buffynism all around, I read in my mind Room 314 instead of unit 121, eh eh- I m losing my s***t) I am really excited, because I never adventure into making any trousers from scratch and rarely made some repair or alteration on it. It's a scary section from a beginner, so I am really happy to deal wi...
