Today's assignment in Drawing Studio was interesting and fun because Vasi asked us to draw a figure using fashion illustration styles of notable fashion illustrators and combine it with fashion photography. Inspired by the menswear collection of Mugler in which Rick Geneist hosted as one of the runway model, I used this tattoo inspiration to create a girl with skull tattoo on her face and a white sheer cloak over her face to give that ghostly effect. Using marker, pencil, and color pencil, I made a couple of quick dashes as to emphasize line quality and the diagonal pose of her body as well as the direction the cloak hang. As a result, this was my best attempt in emphasizing that diagonal line as well as having her disappear into the darkness.
Pulling an "all-nighter", I successfully finished and achieved my satisfaction for my fabric, mood, and illustration board of Integrated Studio. Using my desk wall to lay out my figure drawings, I realized this was the most effective way of putting together a collection and organizing as well as coming up with more ideas in terms of designing clothing. Throughout this semester, I have been trying to become familiar with my creativity, continually searching for the comfort spot that allows me to produce innovative ideas. For this project, I decided to find innovation simply by looking at a piece of fabric swatch. I carefully examined each swatches and closed my eyes and pictured if the fabric suits along with the rest of my collection already in progress. As a result, turns out that I had a huge variation of swatches for only twelve looks which startled me.
