Practice Portraits/Sketches

After looking in the mirror I drew myself with my left hand (I’m RIGHT handed) without looking up at the mirror
Then I did the same but with my right hand, interestingly the left handed version looks more balanced as in this drawing my eyes are not in line with the rest of my features.

 


First attempt drawing from the mirror, looks nothing like me.


Second attempt






 

I got my Mum to draw me, and I drew her also.



Another attempt drawing without looking at the paper, realised one of my eyes is bigger than the other, maybe went a bit extreme with that haha

Starting to try and paint my skin tone, this doesn't look like much but it took ages.

National Portrait Gallery

Me and a friend, Aimee, went to the National Portrait Gallery. The first 2 things I drew didnt include faces because I was pretty sure they wouldnt look good haha

 

 

We found a bench and sat in front of this painting for a while and this was the first drawing i was pleased with, I think it does bare resemblance to the original :)

 

But then offcourse I went back to comfortably sketching :/ haha 

 

 

I am pleased with this sketch though as the face does look like a face unlike any of my other sketches hahaha

  

By the end of the day, we lost patience with trying and not yet succeeding to draw flawless portraits

 

Taadaa!

Florence Trip

FLORENCE!
We went on a trip to Florence in Italy and it was absolutley amazing, we had such a great time and a lot of freedom. It was supposed to be a working trip so I kept a sketchbook/scrapbook...not sure that anyone else did haha

SCULPTURE IN FASHION IDENT PROJECT

Moodboard for SCULPTURE IN FASHION http://sculpturedfashion.tumblr.com/

 

 

These outfits are by Dutch fashion designer IRIS VAN HERPEN. She is known for her cutting edge designs and use of modern techniques such as 3D printing. These pieces were designed to look as if the model is being splashed with water.

Although water is delicate and flowing I believe that these garments still look architectural and structured. The 'water' is made from plastic and although see through, looks solid and fixed. The contrast between the curved lines of the 'water' will look interesting paired with straighter, bolder lines.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Quite hard to see from this photo (above) but I folded this sheet of paper and used it to make a study from, to see where the light/shadow fell. Folded paper could resemble the straight geometric lines I had been looking at.

 

 Here is a first draft story board:

I created a short stop motion film where i slowly altered a piece of string (in a wiggly shape taken from the 'water' dresses by Iris Van Herpen) into an 'S' shape, standing for 'SCULPTURE'

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I found a series of images taken by Iris Van Herpen of her work and research. I used photoshop to super impose them, creating layers. 

 

 

 

 

This is my final IDENT http://vimeo.com/69247371
