Pencil/Pen sketch.

This isnt my usual way of sketching. However, I tried to push myself out of my, small, pretty, elegant, comfort zone and do a big, angular design. 
I didnt want to add colour in the end incase it ruined it as you cant get one block colour using watercolours and its like primary school felt tips how it gets darker in certain places. I wanted to focus on the detail of the face, figure, and movement of the fabric. I really enjoyed doing this so hopefully I'll end up doing more big sketches like this in the future.

Pencil Sketch.

Taken from Glamours July 2012 edition.
 I didn't want to fill this in colour as I didn't want to take away the deatils of the drape in the fabric and her face. Nor did I want to end up adding too much colour and ruining it with big black eyes or clown lips.
I wanted to focus getting the angles of the bent arm right and the movement of the fabric. Also the face, which is a big weakness of mine when drawing!! I always will try and avoid it. 
I know its very faint, it didn't look it on the photo I took, so you might want to tilt your screen back ever so slightly.

Flamenco inspired bridal collection!

This weeks brief was 30 designs on a Culture. I chose to do 15 on Flamenco dancers (Spanish) and 15 on Africa, however i'm really unhappy with those designs so I dont think ill be putting them up!
I chose to do Flamenco as 'fishtail/mermaid' dresses are very trend at the moment, especially in bridal and I absolutely LOVE them!!!

A - This dress is a laser cut neckline, one sleeved floor length gown. With a white bodice, gradually going into a red skirt, revealing black netting underneath.
B - This is a sleeved dress with knee length tassels from each sleeve. Also with subtle tiering down the skirt.
C - I love this. A fitted sleeved dress with a mesh fishtail skirt and placements of lace on the mesh and up the bodice 'connecting it'. A long train too.
D - A very thin strappy, backless dress with a fitted bodice and tiered skirt in a red and dark red stiff (to hold the ruffles) fabric.
E - Halter neck dress, with a fitted bodice and very full skirt made up of panels that are slightly frayed, squares of fabric.

Pop Art Collection - 
I normally try and relate my collections back to bridal if possible as that is what pathway I am taking but as the theme this week was Pop Art it was quite impossible to put this into a bridal collection as no traditional bride would wear a Pop Art wedding dress, as it is heavily influenced by digital print.

A - This is a blue body suit with yellow digital print, and a yellow mesh gathered skirt.
B - A blue shift dress with a icon image of two hands and a ring.
C - White t-shirt dress with icon digital print words on and bright colours.
D - Paneled dress with very bright multi coloured clashing fabric, seperated by thick black lines.
E - Crop top and matching shorts in clashing colours with opposite coloured hems and digital print words.
