starting this week off, I have been working on my designs on digital. It has been quite difficult as I feel as though I’m having a “designers block” at the moment. Even though this is the case I have still been trying to power through and amend/add certain things to my designs, whether that is the colour, silhouette or accessories.
Group B have also had a digital lesson with Jorgie today this afternoon on creating a working drawing of a coat. This was quite useful to me as some of the techniques she showed us were better ways of doing something instead of the way I did them, I have also learnt some new tools one illustrator which is also helpful for my working drawings to come.
Whilst being in uni I was able to Get one with developing my silhouette. With the corset I wanted to create a dress that fitted well underneath with dramatic sleeves. Obviously this dress would have embroidery and detailing on it but at the moment I am just focusing on getting my pieces made up first.
from inspiration, I was able to build a silhouette that I really liked. The dress had darts through the middle, front and back to be tight underneath the corset. I also wanted the sleeves to be big and poofy, however the sleeve didn’t turn out as hoped so I will need to change the pattern piece to get a bigger and more dramatic sleeve.
