In this session, we explored fashion illustrations and produced sketches revolving around our artist research.
Using the collages that were created based on the chosen artist and their specific artworks, there were interesting shapes and structures that could be extracted to incorporate into our design ideas. My artist includes many body parts and such features into his work, therefore my illustrations were largely comprised of that. Through this task, I was able to experiment with various materials and ways to create fashion drawings; for example: tracing paper, reflections, repetition of specific details etc.
I noticed that my main strength was my sketching skills where I was able to create smooth, fine lines that are three-dimensional which demonstrates consideration towards how the garments would sit around the body. However, my main weakness is the lack of experience in fashion sketching/illustration which results in many time being spent on creating the drawings or that I am not familiar with the process.
