Drawing in the style of Patrick Morgan

Here I have created an illustration in the style of Patrick Morgan.

Patrick Morgan is a digital artist who above has done some illustrations for Tom Ford. I like how he has got a background colour and the image is drawn onto that. I also like how detailed the drawing is and the use of shading has made the image very interesting.

As you can see I have drawn my own version of this. I have taken it from the brief that I was given in a project of using gingham to create a dress.

I feel that this style isn't strong enough for me as I am not too good at drawing human proportions, I feel I am better at drawing features on their own. 

Experimenting with Flowers on a garment

Above is an illustration and four potential dress ideas using the flower that I drew on illustrator using a picture that I took. As you can see, you can play with the scale and proportion of the textile pattern to create other patterns. This is part of the developmental process and I have illustrated this above.

Flower Drawing Using Illustrator

Above is a drawing that I created using illustrator. The reason that I drew a flower was due to the idea of using it as a textile design on a garment. I took this picture in my garden and thought that it was a very good image to use for textile design as the thread could portray a scratchy effect on the material. 

Alyana Cazalet Illustrator

Above I have attempted to draw in the style of Alyana Cazalet. I found that her style is very interesting and cartoon-like. I think it looks really good and portrays images in a very artistic manner. However I do not think that this style suits me. 

Alyana Cazalet has previously done illustrations for Sainsbury's, Cafe Rouge, and BBC Children's Magazines. She was born and educated in Russia, currently living in London woking as a freelance artist and illustrator.

Overall I have found that I have experimented with this style and tried it but I do not feel that I can pull it off in an artistic manner, however, if I were to use a similar style and customise it to my strengths in drawing I feel that it could work really well. 

Ayalah Clothing Branding

Here is a branding title that I have created using photoshop. In photoshop I used the text tool and moved objects around to line them up perfectly. I was able to move an object more flexibly by holding CTRL down and then moving it, then to release into that spot you have chosen, then you must release the mouse before letting go of CTRL. If however I wanted to release the object onto an exact line, I would press SHIFT and it would snap into that exact position. I feel that this portrays my brand really well and can use this for heading everything as this would be consistent and professional. I could also use this as my watermark over my work for copyright purposes. This is why I have created such a versatile piece of branding as I can use it for multiple jobs. 

I chose this lucid and defined font style for my brand name 'Ayalah' to keep the branding clear and concise, while clothing was left in script to further emphasise my personal brand.

Jaqueline Bissett Experiment

Above is the work of Jaqueline Bissett and a version of my own, attempting to use a similar technique created using illustrator. Overall I feel that it was successful, although details such as the face and hands I struggled with due to illustrator automatically straightening the lines. This made me unable to make sharp corners as they were softened by the brush tool. 

Jaqueline Bissett is a very talented artist and from looking through her portfolio from the link above I have taken inspiration. This is because I like the style that she uses and portrays within her work. The work she produces always looks natural and feminine and hopefully soon I will be able to portray his in my own work.

I also feel that my technique is overall improving and hopefully in the near future will be able to produce work to a high standard with the help from inspiration in the early stages of learning and practising techniques.

Katharine Asher's Work

This is my attempt at working in the style of Katharine Asher . I used the brush tool on illustrator to create my version. This is my first attempt and could be improved a lot, and feel that I can achieve this by practising and choosing a style that works for me. 

I feel that that this style could work for me but as stated above a lot of practise is needed. 

Katharine Asher's work is very good in my opinion as it is very detailed but this is created by doing extracting little details. I also feel that the brush used has allowed the image to have a more feminine look.
