This week we had a drawing workshop to help us create initial drawings for our textile designs. I wanted to mainly focus on the colour in our macro images and the textures of the rust and peeling paints found in the images we had taken of decaying wall and graffiti on walls.
You can see there is quite a wide spectrum of colours in this first one but the main ones were a peachy colour, blue and cerise pinks. I used an array of papers to create a peeling effect and flicked paint and ink onto the drawing inspired by the flecks of paint as seen in the graffiti macro images.
Im quite pleased with this drawing but i feel it could use more ordered structure. Maybe to improve I could have used a typre of stencil or printed onto of it with such things as bubble wrap perhaps.
The second drawing has a lot more order and structure in a way that I used stencils of nails and also stamped with the end of pipes to get the circular shapes. I stippled around the nail stencil to emulate the flecks of paint in some of the macro images. I also draw some of the pipe pieces one of the girls from my group brought in. These could work really well being embroidered onto a print design. I feel this drawing is a lot more of a James Long gritty kind of vibe as opposed to my first drawing which is quite colourful and clean. its important to think of the client or brand when designing to give context to your designs/drawings.
To develop this further I may scan this drawing into photoshop and play around with colours, compostion and pergaps create a digital print design from this.
The group still hasnt decided on a colour pallete as of yet so this is the next steps for us along with further drawing, muse research and generic garment research.
