Twisted

To begin the workshop we were concentrating on scales of twisted objects and i focused on more natural forms such as tree's and the way in which the shape can appear very abstract when up scaled.



For this particular image i used ink along with masking tape to create texture. I feel the overall effect is interesting.




Progressing on from shape and scale here we are developing an understanding of creating garments for our concept. From using visual images along with colour photocopies of my sketchbook work i was able to incorporate and create wonderful ideas.



From all these initial ideas, we had to choose one particular idea and develop upon it. Here I have developed a collection that best encapsulates my word 'twisted'. I used my 3 templates, repeated them and created different designs for each, In addition to this I added annotation of the fabric, manipulation techniques and colour to illustrate my ideas more clearly.

From adding colour to my work i realised this was not the colours i wanted to incorporate within my final 6 design, so i decided to photocopy my designs which are shown below.

To get an idea as to how i wanted to present my final illustration I looked into a couple of Illustrators for inspiration and experimented with their techniques, below is my developing work in the style of Howard Tangye.

Lovisa Burfitt

Here I found the effect of the ink I was working with quite interesting so captured a picture.

Here I have demonstrated my final 6 designs which incorporate ideas from my 30 designs. I have incorporated colour using oil pastels and ink.

Below is my final illustration! I decided to create it using Lovisa Burfitt's style and my way of working. I feel I have clearly shown development throughout the whole process.
