It's My Dream



If you know me, you know my dream is to be a famous clothing designer. I am slowly working my way there by making and designing my own clothes. Here are a few things I have made recently.
I made this whole outfit. The shirt was inspired by one I saw on Zara's website and the skirt was made from a pattern. I was so proud of the way they booth turned out!
I made the green shirt I am wearing. I hand stitched each and every circle. It took a lot longer than I thought it would.
I made this skirt a long time ago from a frumpy D.I. purchase.
I hope to keep this up. I have so many ideas in my head... if only school would stop taking up all of my time.

Week 8. The 1 point.


These weeks assignment I am so excited for I just might do two pictures. It is to do a 1 point perspective piece. I had so many ideas I just couldn't choose one. This is the first one I did, I will see if I have time to do another but I like this one so far. Medium: Charcoal.

Week 7. The Ribbon

This weeks assignment was to draw a ribbon with whatever we wanted to. I thought I was being pretty clever to use my Jane Austin book with a ribbon book mark, but another girl (an English major as well) did the same thing. So there goes my creativity... hahah I think this one still needs a few changes. Something is off about it. Medium: Charcoal background, Prisma for the ribbon.

Week 6. The metal, water and glass.

This was a tricky assignment. We needed to incorporate some sort of metal, water and glass into the picture and I needed to touch three sides of the paper. So I thought i would be cool to have the water pouring into the glass. Little did I know water is crazy and is spirally and stuff when it pours. It was a little harder to draw then I had anticipated. well a lot harder. The glass was harder to draw as well. the only thing that wasn't hard was the goblet. I liked drawing the goblet. Medium: Charcoal.

Week 5. The Face


Our Assignment this week was to complete a surprised or frightened self portrait, using a grid. I was super nervous for this assignment because I have never drawn a face before. It is one thing to draw simple objects but to draw a face. wow. But it was a lot more fun then I thought it would be. I was even ok with the way it turned out. I want to practice faces more for sure. Medium: again our choice and betcha can't guess what I used.... charcoal! The picture I used is on top!

Week 4. The Shoe


This weeks assignment draw a shoe from the top-ish angle.Medium: Our choice, I chose charcoal.
I was in a rush to complete this drawing so I was afraid it wasn't very good, but when I got to class everyone loved it. It made me feel very happy! who doesn't love to be praised. I love these shoes so much they are starting to fall apart. I feel like they have character.

Week 3. The Fruit


This week our instructions were to take any piece of fruit, draw it whole, draw it cut in half, and draw three slices. Medium: Prisma pencil. This week I learned I do not love working with the primsa. (Primsa is a type of colored pencils) It was hard for me to draw this because it is very hard to erase, so instead of just shading and erasing where I don't like it, I had to apply layers of color. It was hard but a good thing to learn. I guess.
