What I did today...

Today we did a workshop focusing on how to use different techniques when it came to fashion illustration. I experimented with techniques such as collage, paper manipulation, using the fine liner to create different shapes, using Brusho, and stitching on top of pictures of faces . I  thoroughly enjoyed doing this as it has taught me to be more creative and has introduced me to new materials and methods of how to create interesting illustrations. Here is what I did:
For this illustration I have used the technique of simply using a fine liner and ruler, to create triangular shapes onto the models' face. I chose to experiment with this style as I have incorporated a lot of triangle shapes in my sketch book and into my designs also. I will use this illustration combined with another one for the heads of the models of my line up.

I think this illustration is very interesting as I have gone with the triangle theme by cutting the image up into small triangles and then stuck them back down onto a plain piece of paper, leaving a small gap in between each shape to emphasis the shapes. However, I thought that I could make this illustration look more fascinating therefore I stitched over the models' eyes in pink and purple thread. These are the colours than run throughout my sketch book and designs. I will be using this in conjunction with the above illustration to use as a head for my final line up of designs.

Further continuing with the stitch theme, I found this image of a model wearing an over-sized sweater and I tried to outline this using the stitch method, I also stitched long lines above and below her eyes.

I don't think this piece is effective as you can't really see much of the models face. However I think that I have tried to encourage the triangle theme in this illustration, but I don't think I will be using this one.



This illustration is interesting with the clash of the colours from her eyelids to to purple and blue splatter across her lips, chin and cheek using Brusho. I like the colours but I don't think that they exactly relate to my project, therefore I won't be using this one as a head for the final line up.
