Sketchbook workings...for once!

Getting well and truly stuck in to our Final Major Project now (basically the most important, scariest, stressful thing we will ever have to do at college!) and I have actually cracked right on and done quite a fair bit in my sketchbook!


To quickly explain I am modernizing the story of an old fairytale called The Twelve Dancing Princesses (maybe you've heard of it!?) Anyway I am using a version of it I actually own for inspiration which is full of 18th century style dresses and fashion within the illustrations. For my final outcomes I plan to make 6 masquerade style masks and 6 silk scarves (the kind of things I reckonsss an 18th century princess might have used). I am going to base each outcome on 12 girls that I know, by gathering information on them in a short survey I wrote. I have then created "profiles" in my book as a reference to the type of person they have and what they are interested in.  My final "show space" is going to be like some of the locations mentioned in the book....silver, gold and diamond forests. :) 


So here's a few pages of what I've done so far!

Marie Antoinette/Kirsten Dunst (excuse my rubbish webcam photos)

 Keira Knightly in The Duchess

 Me peering down at some artist research and responses

 And one of my "profile pages" (no, not like facebook!)

Anyway there will be more to come once I started on some drawing and pattern designing for my silk scarfs, which I will be starting from tomorrow onwards. How exciting ;)

Enjoy
