My illustration boards set 2

 

Two of my boards were inspired by Jason Brooks, I used a similar technique to colour my illustrations. I tried to develop my style by adding the leaf brushes in the hair of my illustrations; originally I created ink splatter brushes on Photoshop however I didn’t like the look it created so I opted for the leaf brushes, I thought that this would also fit in with the sustainable aspect of my collection a they link through nature.

I think that they do meet the needs of noir however I feel that the models don’t quite fit with the company as they tend to use European models and I have used Asian models as I thought that this fit with my Asian trend. I think that my boards are success full and I like the outcome.

I feel that my style has developed over the two years and I feel more confident illustrating digitally. I think my Photoshop and illustrator skills have also improved however I feel that I was restricted to experiment more with my style as I illustrated my collection for noir, I couldn’t experiment with more colours.

I think I could improve these with experimenting with more poses and I think I should have experimented with more techniques.

 

In all I much prefer these boards to my other two, I'm not sure what it is but I feel much more confident with these and in general just like the look of these more.

 

 

Thanks for reading!! what do you think of my boards??

My illustration boards set 1

 

These two were inspired by Stina Persson; I used water colours for these boards. To fit noirs colour scheme I stuck to minimal colours only using black and red. I tried to keep a similar style to my other boards but using a traditional media.

I did smudge part of one of my boards; if I was to complete these illustrations properly I would have photographed or scanned them onto the computer and touched them up using Photoshop to remove the smudges.

I think they are successful however I feel that the figures are a little too feminine for noir.

I am pleased with these boards however I don’t like the arrangement of the flowers on the board I smudged, I also felt a bit uneasy doing these boards as I was unsure what medias or techniques to use and I feel that my other boards were more successful.

This is the board that I smudged I'm quite a perfectionist so this smudge makes me very uneasy.

I am quite happy with this board and im pleased with the way it turned out.

 

Thanks for reading!! What do you think of my boards?

Noir

The other week i had to research into Noir and then design a collection for themso I thoguth I'd share some info and pictures about them.

Noir is an eco friendly fashion brand funded in 2004 by Peter Ingwersen. They work closely with the Illuminati 2 which is an organic cotton brand. Their collections are mostly black so it was pretty hard to come up with new designs for their brand!

 

Noir is quite sleek and sophisticated so my designs and design boards will have to reflect that, wish me luck!!

 

I will post my design boars when they are complete!!
