Fashion Drawing and Illustration . . . .
January 4, 2010 chloep
So we have been given a new brief to fit alongside our Fashion Drawing and Illustration technical notebook. We have to visit York art gallery and research into their exhibition on Japanese Sashiko Textiles and over Christmas we have started to collect and record information and design ideas in our sketchbook, I am really enjoying this module but have got a lot to do in my sketchbook as at first I found it really hard to get into it. It has been hard to record info as you aren’t able to take photos of the garments in the art gallery but I have found a great website with all the images and info of the exhibition – www.sashiko.org.uk
A lot of it is all about texture so I am trying to produce loads of samples, fabrics and trims. The hardest part is that it has to tie in with our Fashion Drawing and Illustration technical notebook that we have been doing since September so we have to link them by developing our illustration style and producing and developing figures and using them in our sketchbooks. Unfortunately I am not too keen on the illustration side and it isn’t my strongest bit so I have kind of neglected the drawing in my sketchbook, which isn’t too good when it is an illustration module! I’ve got a lot to do for the February deadline – finish my sketch book, 10 design developments and 3 boards!!!!! Lets hope I can get some inspiration and get drawing!
