Digital More Watercolour Drawings

So the title is a little misleading, they're pencil drawings with digital watercolour, meh it looks more impressive if you think they're all done in watercolour. Below is my final piece for Art A2 CW, under the topic 'Natural Metamorphism'; I then went on to printing off the original drawing onto fabric and embroidering into it using the same colours and shapes as below.

Similar to the first one from September, I then layered it up with leaf-patterned silhouettes as a reponse to another artist, Lena Wolff.

This was an experiment for a final piece, using various media (ink, watercolour, coloured pencils...) to try and achieve the same effect as the digital work. Well I didn't like it as much so went back to drawing just in pencil and editing with Photoshop.

On a side note I'd like to mention that this blog may become obsolete in the next few months. I made the horrid mistake of reserving this for my work only, which is erratic and - due to my apathy - rarely posted; I plan on scrapping it for a more comprehensive collective, featuring inspirational posts and my own work around the topic of design, whether that be fashion, web, art, typography, graphics, jewellery... watch this space.

Digital Digital Watercolours

So far in Art this year I've been studying the work of Esra Røise, so I thought I'd have a stab at her style. She uses mostly pencil but sometimes watercolour, and occasionally superimposition of photos using the computer. I was really impressed by one in particular, this, so went for something similar. Mine are much more obviously digitally enhanced but I love the result to no end. The original photo of me can be found here.

Digital Skulls

My affinity for skulls is becoming ridiculous. I've even printed one on a jumper; I will post it tomorrow. For now here are a few that I've drawn out and then vectorised using Illustrator. And then made a trippy image:

Digital Design Templates

I am a dunce at drawing my fashion designs, they mostly stay in my head and the few that escape are made instead of drawn; but this is a terrible attitude. Instead of learning some genuine illustration skills which I shall pick up in later life, I have been all computer-geeky and made some templates.



I made them using Adobe Illustrator from model photographs. The point is that now I have no excuse to not draw, because I have pre-made model templates; and if I ever get around to learning the finer points of Illustrator I could recreate outfit designs digitally on these mannequins.

For your pleasure I present to you these four and two others from a back view in Illustrator format (.ait), please credit me if you use them for anything other than personal use. templates.zip
