Last night I could not sleep. It could have something to do with the fact that my mother and I together drank an entire pot of coffee last night. But it wasn't a big deal, because I got a lot of stuff done. I went to bed at 4:30am, and spent some time organizing, puzzling, and sketching. I also watched a bunch of episodes of 30 Rock. This is my new obsession. It is a hilarious show, although I think I am catching on late. I have always heard it was funny, but now have had the chance to watch from the beginning.
Last night I was inspired to create a cruise line. It is called Blue Desperation. I am going on a cruise over spring break, and am excited to possibly wear some of these outfits.
I created some sketches from my ideas, and one reproduction out of the Victoria's Secret catalog. I got really into the sketching, and started to remember my love of drawing, and recalled my dream of being a fashion illustrator. These sketches are obviously still rough. These are obviously illustrations and not technical flats, so they are an ideation rather than the blueprint for the garments I will make. I wish my style was more cohesive. That will come hopefully. So here is a rough start of illustrations for my line:
This is the Vikki's sketch. (kind of a practice for myself) I don't know why the last one I uploaded popped up first on the blog.
This is the evening ensemble. Notice her class; she has wine. The "railroad tracks" behind her is actually the rail of the cruise ship. :)
Swim wear. Top is a wraparound and has an exaggerated side bow.
This is the first day of the cruise, with off-the-shoulder jumpsuit, and travel bag. Note the cruise ship in the background. She possibly just got off the flight.
And here is the puzzle of New York I got for Christmas last year, and finished last night/this morning:
I welcome all comments/questions/suggestions!
I like your sketches! Yeas they are still raw, but they have style and moood. Some people tries to paint every detail and then to sew exact same thing , other just express the mood and leave space for creativity while sewing. I think expressing emotions is more difficult to learn.
