Sketch Exercise Part II

This post is a follow up of the previous. The second week of drawing exercises with Armando involved further explorations of drawing draped material on the mannequin.

Sketch Exercise Part I

The following images were sketching exercises from Armando's Design tutorials.
A minute each for front side and back views. The point of this exercise was to experience how fast coming up with designs in the real fashion industry would be. As well as being a new approach in incorporating drape forms from the earlier post into designs that would further strengthen skills in imagining and drawing from two dimensional compositions.

Illustrations

This post is an explorative 7 pages of illustrations that utilises sections of drapes and Korean-inspired textile prints with fabric swatches.
These are not my final designs but an example of how I will incorporate small details structured within my drape exercises into my initial design drawings later on.

The following 2 posts will be images of the collection of drapes I did in class and further explorations on the mannequin at home executed with discarded clothing and shirts bought from the Salvation Army.

Textile Dyeing Part II

The second session that we had to dye fabrics resulted in more intense and deep colours suitable to be used within my colout range. This week I was able to dye a variety of neutral organic colours as well as vibrant popping tones to contrast.
