some drawings i made for school

i really like how these turned out.
we had to choose three different periods to make a series of drawings of, one typical, one modern, silhouettes & accessories.

‘biedermeier’/victorian:

(the last one is just patterned paper stuck behind a cut-out, i didn’t draw that)

20′s:

still have to fix some parts of these.

80′s:

this one is my favourite! mostly because of the ecoline i used for the hair & dress. usually such messy materials scare me, but i LOVE how it turned out here. think i’ll have to use it more often.
for the rest i used promarkers, soft pastels, fineliners & pencils.

more collages!

for school, again. i love making these.

(supposed to be) abstract collage of things i love; yes, this is in my new header

(supposed to be) abstract collage of things a fictional working woman loves, i had an elementary school teacher in mind

volume, communicated to fashion people

fragile, communicated to fashion people; attempt at simplification

the great majority of images is cut from magazines/folders/papers, some i got from deviantart.

some collages

part of my homework for school. so much more fun than answering irrelevant questions! i (mostly) really like how they turned out, so i thought i’d share.

(this one is my favourite!)

most pictures i used are cut from old magazines, some from deviantart or flickr.

finally back (:

after an extended hiatus. since my last post many things have gone wrong, pretty much everything that could possibly go wrong, which was why i was gone for so long. mostly school & money things. & my sewing machine broke ): among other things. but, i should be able to replace it next week.

anyway, since i couldn’t sew, i decided the time was ripe to start drawing again. i made this yesterday:

(the pinafore she’s wearing is actually the next piece of clothing i intend to sew)

it’s just a silly thing, very flawed & very messy, but i wanted to share it anyway. you can really see that i haven’t drawn for a while, can’t you? :p my scanner also completely butchered the colours & the striped background was coloured so messily i painted over it in photoshop.

for the curious: i used a mechanical pencil, faber castell coloured pencils (this drawing really doesn’t do the awesomeness of them justice), stabilo fineliners & it’s drawn on bristol paper.

& i also (accidentally) made a cutout of it in photoshop & thought it looked pretty cool:

i don’t say this enough, but thank you so much for visiting my blog! especially those of you that do so regularly! ^-^ i love you!
