Project: Sketchbook

So far with my project I haven't been very happy on the direction I've been going, or able to come up with something that I think will be both commercially appealing and something I like as well. My tutor has advised me to come up with two different ideas for a final piece: one commercial idea and one 'Emma' idea - what I would want to do if there were no limits.

These pages are from the commercial design, experimenting with colour and scale.



Research: Dissertation

For my dissertation, I am writing about 'Land Girls' of the 1940s and the representation of women from this time.

Being both a lover of vintage fashion & design and a self-proclaimed feminist, I thought this subject would be perfect for me to write about.

My initial research is photographs of Land Girls.

 

YOU GO GIRLS <3

Inspiration: Art Therapy Book

On visiting my friend today, she showed me a beautiful book she had been given which was an art therapy colouring book. After having a look through all the wonderfully patterned, detailed drawings, we then spent the afternoon colouring in and watching cheesy 90's films!

Incredible addictive as well!



Personal: Commission Research

I have been asked to draw the most beautiful Saluki hound for a client who would like her beloved pet tattooed on her leg. The client has asked for the image to be full of texture and to capture Cai's 'whispy' fur, especially at the ends of the ears.

She sent me this most lovely photo of her dog's ears, showing the different textures between the long and short fur.

Just a quick little something I made a couple of weeks back.
