Dolce and Gabbana / Summer 2014

 

Absolutely love this collection!! Came across these amazing catwalk photos whilst browsing www.vogue.co.uk

Preston Park Museum

Today I took a trip to Preston park. I took a look around the museum there for some inspiration. I found some beautiful objects and got some lovely photos. In the grounds of the park I came across some great florals that will be great to draw and develop for prints.

Also in the grounds of Preston Park is butterfly world which you pay a small fee on entry. It is well worth paying to get in as you see some amazing butterflies and tropical flowers. The butterflies were beautiful and I even managed to collect some sadly passed ones to do observational drawings from. 

Summer Break

It still hasn't sunk in that I'm in my second year of uni! First year went so fast! I was a pretty bad blogger over the holidays as I was too busy working and exploring amazing places. During the summer break I spent an amazing two weeks in turkey. Whilst there I visited the beautiful apollon temple, didim. I got some amazing photos that have inspired me a lot, which I'm currently using in my next collection. These are a few of the photos I collected showing the interesting patterns and towering collumns.

New home

 

Just moved into my new desk for the year. Displaying some inspiration and market research. 

Black bird

 

I done an observational drawing tonight of a black bird. I used a photograph to draw from taken by Ryan Kibry Photography. It's the first time Iv attempted drawings feathers and think it doesn't look to shabby in pencil. 

Hart to Haswell Walkway

 

Took my hyper beagle for a walk this leonine down Hart to Haswell. I got some pretty good photos photos of textured bark and trees which I find beautiful.

The swing of things

It's been agesssss since I done a bit of drawing. So since te start of term is slowly creeping up on me I decided to try and get back into the swing of drawing. I ventured into my back garden and found the only floral there was. (Not very exciting) None of the less I produced this mixed media A2 sheet. I think I done pretty well considering I hadn't touched a pencil in a month or so (naughty me). I used flat colour, colouring pencils, fine liner and watercolour on brown paper.
