Ideas for my illustration boards.

Here are some of my ideas for my final illustration boards for this unit that I am currently doing in college. I have looked at some of the illustrators that I like and experimented on my sketchbook. I have also looked at different pose, media and garment that I would include on my illustration board. To get the right outcome for my illustration board, first I experimented on my sketchbook and also used the pose that I have found from magazines and books.

Thanks for reading my post.... 

Have a nice Christmas Holidays... ^_^

Recreating illustrations.

For this unit that I am currently doing in college, I was asked to research and illustrate some of the contemporary and historical illustrators work. Here are some of the illustrations that I have created using the illustrator's work style and I have illustrate some of the garments that I have design from the past unit.

Thanks for reading.... Comment below if you have any questions or anything!! ^_^

Tiffany Lynch

Tiffany Lynch uses ink, pen and Adobe Photoshop to create her illustrations. Tiffany works as a freelance illustrator.

Her work gives off a calm and easy-going feel.

In my opinion I like her work because it portrays story behind it and I like the way she uses her media. Tiffany’s inspiration is from nature and urban everyday life from East Sussex. Street style, beach life and travels are the things that she enjoys and features in her work.

The aspect of her work that inspires me is the way she includes her everyday life in her illustrations. I would use her line-drawing style when working on my illustrations.

LULU

Lulu is a fashion illustrator. The media that she uses is Adobe Photoshop. She creates her illustrations through a sophisticated process of combining hand-drawn motifs with computer elements. Together, these elements create the formal and technical synthesis, defining Lulu’s widely appreciated illustration style.

Her work conveys a sexy and feminine feel to it because of the pose and the emotion of the women on her illustration.

I really like her illustrations because they’re very stylish and glamorous at the same time.

When I create my work in my sketchbook I would use the same media that she uses for her illustrations. I would also use the same concept that she uses i.e. femininity, glamour and etc.

Her inspiration is impressions of form and colour, which is visible in some of her fashion illustration work. While her other work refers to computer graphics or retro aesthetics.

My trouser pattern

So last week I began to pattern my trouser design for the unit 120 (pattern cutting lesson). I am actually really excited and happy that finally I get to make my own designed trouser.
Here is what my trouser design looks like. I have also included colour and fabric swatches to go with my design.

And here is what the pattern looks like (front).

First draft,

I traced off a size 10 trouser block front and back. On a new piece of pattern paper, I traced out the front trouser separately. 

Second draft,

I have put in a front hip pocket, the size I wanted. I have also lowered the crutch of the trousers and made the legs skinnier.

Third draft,

Because I wanted cuffs at the bottom of the trousers, I marked out 10cm for the cuffs to be in place. I have also added on the pocket details on the pattern.

I can now trace the final pocket and the pocket facing from the third draft of my trousers.

Pocket detail

Final draft,

Back trouser pattern.

For the back pattern, I traced out a size 10 trouser back pattern on a piece of pattern paper, then did the same step as what I have done for the front trouser.

That's it  for now. Thanks!!! ^_^

Rainer Stolle

Rainer Stolle uses pencil, watercolour and Adobe Photoshop to create his work. He has worked in different art and design fields over the past 15 years.

His work conveys a lonely mood because of the poses he uses for his illustration.

I like his work because it has an uncertain feel to it and I also like how he applies his media first then draws the outline to show different effects.

The aspect that I would apply to my work is probably his drawing technique. I think that his work would fit into the high street market level because t’s very eye-catching and I think that it would attract people in the high street level more that the couture level.

Kime Buzzelli

Kime Buzzelli is a painter and fashion illustrator. She uses make up, watercolour, thread, fabric and a variety of ‘decomposing material’. Her drawings incorporate all of these medias, and are sometimes stuffed or made three-dimensional.

I really like Kime’s illustrations because of the way she draws, it has a carefree feel to it. I like the way the medias mix together to show different textures and effects.

The aspects that inspires me the most are the techniques used. When I create my illustration I would probably use some of the techniques and the medias that she has used.

Magic, music, fashion magazines, story telling, vintage films, ghosts, mysteries and old patterns inspire Kime.

I thinks that her work would fit into the couture market because even though the lines look very messy it still looks very glamorous.
