Pencil/Pen sketch.

This isnt my usual way of sketching. However, I tried to push myself out of my, small, pretty, elegant, comfort zone and do a big, angular design. 

I didnt want to add colour in the end incase it ruined it as you cant get one block colour using watercolours and its like primary school felt tips how it gets darker in certain places. I wanted to focus on the detail of the face, figure, and movement of the fabric. I really enjoyed doing this so hopefully I'll end up doing more big sketches like this in the future.

Collection taken from a fashion weeks trend.

This weeks theme, we had to take a trend we have seen off the catwalk this Autumn and choose a high street company and 'diffuse' the trend down to what you think would appear in that chosen store.

I chose the trend 'Blush Pink' with sharp tailoring in the garments. I know I haven't used colour in my designs but I tried and I just couldnt get the right certain Blush colour and I knew I wouldnt be able to do the exact same colour for each design. 

My chosen store was Topshop. Probably at least 3 others in my class will have chosen it too. However, I could really see Topshop having very sharp tailoring yet simple, pink feminine garments and can have some unusual stuff in there.

A - A round neck bodice with simple bust darts with a simple very fitted pencil skirt and a slight split in the leg.

B - A halter neck bodice with simple bust darts again, but with a fitted mini skirt and a flared peplum style hem to it.

C - A white bodice, with a geometric style skirt inspired by flower's petals.

D - A cropped polo neck jumper, teamed with a elegant very fitted pencil skirt.

This is my own design. A very summery dress. A cream, deep V - neck bodice with heavily pleated stripy skirt with concealed pockets!

'Think Pink' Hayden Williams

I absolutely LOVE this one of Hayden Williams illustrations too. I love the faces he puts on them! So glamorous. Again, I tried to work this myself using watercolours and it has come out a lot more vibrant than I was expecting so I am really happy with the result. I would just love to know how he finishes off his illustrations though. They are so clean and neat. I would love to know what media he uses too.

Swim Collection S/S 2013

This is a really old drawing and is really bad, but I've kept it on here to show my progress.

This illustration is based on the glamorous Ibiza beach party's  Hence the shoes. I took inspiration from Victoria's Secret Calender Girls segment with the massive floppy hat which I absolutely love! 

I may do this drawing again to see how much my drawing techniques have changed.

Heart breaker inspired by Hayden Williams

This is one of Hayden Williams Illustrations. Its so gorgeous and one of my favourites so I tried to re-work it, but using only watercolours (I think he using crayons, markers and some editing on photoshop by the look of it) I am quite happy with the outcome and this has helped me to be motivated to carry on drawing as I was really really awful at it. But I am slowly improving.
