A Sketchbook Research Page
My Response to Karel Appel's (1949) 'Questioning Children'.
Responding to Initial Inspiration
Colour Board
This evolved throughout my project- I added colours along the way as I developed.
Development and Experimentation
A printed sample folded on top of my drawings- combining potential prints.
Development
Photocopier Experiments
I used the photocopier to quickly produce lots of print ideas. I could enlarge the scale, and combine drawings/prints together by overlaying them. This was a particularly fun and colourful experiment from the photocopier.
Cut-and-Stick Illustration
Photocopied print and oil pastel.
Fashion Illustration and Print
Developing the illustration above, I used acrylics and felt tip pen to finalise the design. This is next to the print.
Fashion Illustration
Quilted dress- a patchwork of print designs
Fashion Illustrations
Mixed media: oil pastel, acrylic and felt tip pen.
Fashion Illustrations and Print
These are very Marni-inspired designs in my interpretation- influenced by my market research into the brand. This is because of the shapes and the fit of the looser garments- referencing the SS22 collection.
Salmon Print
Inspired by dinners made by my Dad, I simplified the shapes of the food and made this abstracted print.
Fashion Illustration
This print was made by blocking off the salmon print stencil. This is a quilted coat with bow ties- made from a red jersey material.
A Collage of a Final Few
A few of my final samples, collages together like a mini collection.
Mini Collection
These three prints work well as a mini collection of prints- they could be styled in garment designs together. The cobalt blue looks striking next to the bright mandarin orange and yellow.
