Character | Stand Work

[Seam stand work and designs]

Due to using all last week for my detailing project, meaning I would only have two weeks to complete this, I decided to get straight into mannequin work. I find it easiest to come up with designs when I get straight onto the mannequin as it forces me into drawing from what I have created. As I had only researched so far I decided it was best to start with seam work on the mannequin to get a few initial designs. As well as this, I started designing some prints from the adventure time comic, using both print and watercolour to create these bright childlike patterns. This was to keep the idea that the two girls are growing up yet still have these immature idea's like loo-rolling their enemies houses.

To keep within this contradictory idea, I started brainstorming what kind of outfits these girls would like. I started by thinking probably t-shirt and leggins combo, but mixed with the superhero theme I was drawn to the jumpsuit or onepiece. So keeping to basics, from my seam designs I drew classic t-shirts with different collars and seams.

Also using a simple and quick collage technique I cut out body-tight jumpsuits using different necklines from the mannequin work to produce a small collection of how the prints would look when put onto a body.
