Exercise: Everyday fashion
.png)
How can not to have anyone to draw? Is it possible to
struggle so much to pick the best subject for this exercise? I used to take a
pencil and notebook and sketch my family in everyday situation wearing everyday
outfits. This was the best time to study different materials as relaxed family atmosphere
helped me to capture everything in natural way.
I have realised my current situation was not easy to be very creative on
the fashion matters as my everyday duties as a mum does not help to find plenty
of time for contemplating that area of life.
The outfits I wear or my little son wears are usually loose and sports
clothes. I knew I have to go somewhere else
to get the inspiration for this exercise...
My work colleague agreed to be a model which is a big help
for me. The NHS nurse blue tops are
great in terms of simply straight lines. There is nothing complicated about
them. I am going to use the pencil and watercolour for this task. I want to make a colour statement of this
uniform.
This is what I picture in my head. I did not want to personalise this exercise
by paying attention to the face only to the gestures and outfit. At the moment I am very pleased with the few
of my sketches I have made. They look ok
to my. I may be back to this exercise bit later. I may do some more of them in
different style using different materials, perhaps more complicated or
less?
I do want to take a fashion magazine and draw a few fashion
items like a handbag or shoes. Then I
will work on the illustration adding them to the NHS uniform and creating more
exciting glamorous NHS outfit.
