tropical

some fruit photographs I've taken for my next project, I'm gonna base it on a tropical theme and look and fruit, plants and birds relating to tropical-ness!

just some fashion illustrations

I'm quite pleased with how they've turned out! I'm gonna do a couple more for my design boards then put the design boards together on friday.. then hurrah! closure for this project!!! finally!

stripey mc striperson

inspired by prada s/s 2011, I love these, finally hurray! something I like! yes. I think that I've really developed my ideas as far as they can go? I'm not sure.. maybe theres a little more I can do with stripes? yay stripes!

so I've been playing about with different shapes and colours within my repeated pattern.. I really like the triangles! they break the design up really well. the colours on the bottom pattern are better than some of the earlier designs because they're alot cooler and less intense! 

I was freaking out because I didn't think I was gonna get my two week extension, but I found out on friday that I got it, hurray! now hand-in is the 7th march. which means i no longer have to freak out! hurrayyy

just some playing on photoshop using the above drawing! really pleased with how they turned out.. they seem quite tribal to me.. ooh

tie-dye

today I did some tie-dye.. rather enjoyed it.. apart from the fact I now have pink hands ~.~ ahh well! It links well with the painting from my last post, and I really love the colours!

no more collage...

who would have ever thought collage could be so so annoying! it's all I've been doing for a few days now and today I realised none of my design research relates to my drawings, so I've expanded on an earlier drawing and completely left collage behind. I decided to stop doing collage because earlier I was doing some digital collage.. and it just looked terrible..

I don't like the white lines, the colours, anything. so instead I've gone back to using the method of 'water-pens' its this paintbrush that has a tube of water on the end.. very useful!

this painting is inspired by Jil Sander's 2011 s/s collection. I drew on layout paper with felt tip pens then used the water pen to transfer it onto a page in my sketchbook. I adore the colours.. they look so much nicer than the fluorescents! I think this flower would look amazing in a repeat pattern!
