Drawing w/ photoshop, wacom tablet & illustrator - Unit 12: Task 3

 elisarium

Task 3Produce preparation work for a fashion illustration of your own design, e.g. find templates, produce rough sketches, find and scan textures, download images, practice with and compare Photoshop tools, etc. Aim to show how you can use a wide range of techniques and processes effectively within your work.

I have decided to prepare myself practicing with Wacom tablet and virtual drawing. This because I already exercised with basic Photoshop tools at my previous school. I still used some basic Photoshop action, like clone, cut and copy, selection shapes of fabrics etc for the task.

I have practice trying to replicated some illustrations and style of one of the fashion illustrators I have researched for task 2, Jenny Walton.

Actually I am really happy with the result! This was all made with Adobe Illustrator and Wacom Tablet, just looking at illustrations, from my phone, not retracing them; so slightly different, unique again in a sense!

After this exercise, I started working at the real project. I have connected again UNIT 1 AND 12 and digitally developed one of the illustration made for unit 1, the final one, actually.

I wanted to see how much I can improve the handmade one and it was a good base for this unit exercise.

So, here is the original illustration or in this case my template and my rough sketches.

This was the process of my work on Illustrator in few screenshots.

Then my work moved into task 4 of unit one and I have continued my artwork on Photoshop and mounted a virtual frame for it.

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...

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...
