Fashion Drawing

We had a fashion drawing day where a scene with mannequins and dresses were set up and we had to draw them. These were my two favourite drawings:


 Drawing with a pipette and ink


Drawing with wax crayon and shaded with pipette and black ink

12 Days, 12 Things

This project was an extension of the "City Thread" and "Hybrid" projects. I used imagery from "City Threads" to create wearables for paper dolls.

Hybrid

The aim for this project was to gather together three second-hand items of clothing (two mens shirts and a jacket) and through experimentation we were to create a new garment by combining the three items of clothing.

City Threads

This was a textile based project with the theme "City Threads". We had to take photographs of buildings and areas in Manchester then create joiners from them. We then created drawings from the joiners using different media. The final outcome was to be an art book, which I based on the Manchester Wheel.
