Designing Excitement...

I've had a busy week, I've been designing different neckpieces I could make and trying not to put too many pin holes in my drawings...

(No idea why this one doesn't want to be portrait, it did the same on my Facebook page and I've no idea how to fix it lol. I'ts been saved properly, honest)

Heres a leaf to make up for a silly sideways picture...

More Blue Jays...

Been playing with the Blue Jay feathers again, decided to turn them into petals and made a little flower..

It took a while, I thought with it being so small it'd be dead quick but with all the different stripes of colour it was a bit fiddly. This is what it did to my desk haha

Feathers and Flowers

Here are my Blue Jay drawings as promised! It took a while but I kept being a bit dippy and forgetting my camera.

You wouldn't have believed me that the feathers were so tiny so I had to use my trusty Lion King ruler to prove it haha.

This was done in fine-liners and because it's s big it took me forever to fill in.

 

Now we're up to date (I might have missed the expressive drawing work we did because I was quite shocked at what I produced, interesting mark making but looked nothing like a feather half of the time!) I can show you what I made today. I decided that I might want some smaller flowers on my neckpiece and it's always best to draw first so I made some of varying sizes - all are smaller than my original ones even though I have no Lion King ruler to prove it - to use for design development. These are what I made...

Feathers and Wings and Exciting things...

Been doing a few more drawings at Uni, theres some leaves and feathers that I've been working on the last few days...

And I had a surprise waiting for me when I got home today - I'd ordered some Blue Jay wings off eBay and they'd arrived. How gorgeous is that blue!

Final Year

Just started my final year of Uni, how slightly terrifying!
Spent the last week getting back into the Uni mind set and carrying on with drawing. I've been making Mood boards, Market research boards and Colour boards, decorating my bay and finding a new - and exciting - way of making flowers so the petals curve better

This is just a normal tulip, nothing complicated to explain for once, and you can't really see on the pic how well it worked with the new shape but it does look a lot better.

Feathers and Butterflies

Had another confusing drawing session. I started off easy, I did some butterflies in tissue paper and paper that were just normal colours...

Then I made a feather with the butterfly pattern and then I used the feather with the butterfly pattern but in the colour of yet another tulip. (The black one is tracing paper and got a bit creased in the cutting out stage, oops)

Well, it's not actually that confusing when explained like that lol I think I actually understood myself

Wing-Petals...

As opposed to Petal Wings, 2 completely different things. Wing-Petals are butterfly wings with the pattern of petals instead of petals with the pattern of a butterfly wing. I think I just confused myself lol.
I used another tulip (I got loads of good pics when I went to the Eden Project a few months back) for the pattern of my wings

I used tracing paper which made the wings look a bit more like butterfly wings - more delicate - and I do quite like how it turned out. I'll have to do more like that.
