3.2 ten designs

The assignments have a lot of confusing/conflicting information. Size wise, we drew the croquis on 11"x17" and the were supposed to trace them into our book? My book is 8.5"x11". So I drew a new different one that would fit my page and a pose that is more appropriate for showing clothes.

And, it said to trace the croquis onto tracing paper, so I did, then I designed on them, I tested my colors on sketchbook paper (shown on left side of mood board). The colors turned out way different and kind of nasty on the tracing paper so I posted the photos from before I added the color. Rendering the plaid will be an interesting challenge!

So I guess what I need to do is use carbon paper to trace the drawings from the tracing paper to the sketchbooks? I used removable glue dots to adhere everything on this assignment, so it wont be any problem to do that. But I don't have it in my to do that tonight.

I don't know why I'm having such a hard time fully visualizing what we are expected to turn in each week...
Ali's comments in blue

great - love the pattern

 

 

this pant is better - I think it lacks a certain quirky details that can tell us that this your special design.

 

a bit basic - try to put in some quirky details or cutlines - something special yet minimal.

too basic - if you want it that basic then really play with the silhouette.

 

  

same thing - bring in something nice to the top

 

again print is nice - focus on developing better bottoms too.

  

 

nice detail

My response:

The prints are directly from AbEx paintings. Do you think it would be overkill to incorporate more of that into the looks  you find too simple?

Also a lot of them I planned to have some specialness in the back.
