Aim:
To produce 3xA4 PORTRAIT ILLUSTRATIONS
Using Shape
Focusing on the theme 'Nice Outfit'. The illustrations should feature some form or costume or outfit.
Perhaps characters sporting their favourite outfit?
I use shape a lot in my work already. I enjoy building pictures through cutting and layering colours. I love the way that this simplifies my drawings and discourages me from relying on lines and thick outlines.
Just having a play with shapes and character!
What a coincidence that it ended up looking oddly like Mozza…
Moving the shapes just slightly altered the entire face and character. I liked how easy it was to change this, whereas with drawing it is a permanent decision when a line is placed down.
The process of laying shapes next to each other reminded me of fuzzy felt.
Perhaps this would be a good way of creating an illustration that I don't have to stick down and commit to?
Get the fuzzy felt down! Buy some more felt.
Maybe I could set up a fuzzy felt system that means I can change the expression or movement of the character continuously? I could photograph this and make an animation, or make the illustrations interactive.
I lack that 'passion for fashion' (lol Bratz).
More interested in costume. Maybe continue my circus theme? Study Victorian circus fashion.
Full bleed images - how can I do this? Will I stay completely analogue?
Should I scan and then print?
Should I actually present it as a fuzzy felt?!

I collect papers and scraps of fabric. I rooted through my stash to find useful samples.
Above is a peach toned card stock with a wove texture. I only had a few sheets of this and I have no clue where it came from, so I have scanned it for future reference!

When does line become shape?
When does shape become object?
I considered making a model again for this task, creating garnets for my dolls to wear and pose in.
IS THIS SHAPE OR OBJECT?
I'm enjoying making models but I have already done it a lot! Don't just fall back on your dolls, explore first. Make a model if you like, but don't do it the same way. Be experimental before you decide.
