PINK

 

Todays work!

I think that beauty is..

Here is my 'Marylin' look-a-like image, which started out as a photograph mof myself, then altered on photoshop nd printed out on A4.

Using black ink i drew back into the image, and 'coloured' it in on photoshop.

 

Sticking to the beauty subject, i used Christina Aguilera lyrics for the fist piece, and i looked up the meaning of the word for the second image.

 

The backgrounds are made up of a drawing of the dog tooth pattern, from earlier on in my sketchbook.

These images are all made using my own original work and drawings.

You beauty!!

The work has developed now from the initial photographs, to video, now into illustration.

 

Still asking the question "What is beautiful?".

 

 

With my supplies (acetate, marker pens and paper) i have created quite alot of work

in the last week, here are the results.

 

 

 

 

Using a different image, i used my favourite tool, photoshop to erase most of the image,

 just leaving a very faint outline for me to draw back into,

and here's what came next.

 

 

 



Silver

 

The third shoot was inspired by tin foil, jewellery, cheekbones and braces..

Chavtastic!

 

Video numero dos, using the photographs from my first amatuer beauty shoot.

Music: Austin Powers, Goldmemer Soundtrack- "Hard Knock Life"

BEAUTY or the BEAST?

 

 

New video, put together using Movie Maker, just to get the feel of how the photographs from the shoot would translate into film.

SHINY PHOTOSHOOT!

So, for this photoshoot i wanted to portray the future, in a tacky, silly sort of way.

 

Lots of silver, white, large dark eyebrows which i've seen on the catwalk and clean lines.

 

 

Finding inspiration from Hussein Chalayan (see previous posts), Swan Lake,

Lady Gaga, the list goes on!

 

This shoot consisted of:

 

White, gold, bronze and grey eyeshadows

Black liquid eyeliner

Dark brown eyebrow powder

Tin foil

Pink lipgloss

Fake feather lashes

Nail varnishes

Mascara

Acetate

Masking tape

A variety of pens

and some Letter Stamps

 

 

This was my starting point, a tin foil hat...

 

Moving on, having the foil as a part of my hair....

 

Next I decided to change the foil into a fringe/visor..

 

I used masking tape to cover my mouth next, which meant i could still allow the pink lip to be seen...

 

The following stage amounted to me 'upping the ante', increasing the amount of make-up... 

 

I tried some gold glitter NAIL VARNISH on my LIPS next!!

DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME!

 

Lashes were the next logical thing on the adgenda...

 

 

Finishing up with a variety of different mouths...

 

 

 

Thank you for viewing :)

 

CHAV PHOTOSHOOT!

Asking the question: What Is Beautiful?

 

I have decided to make myself into a variety of stereotypical women from society, into what i believe the future holds...

 

Experimenting

 

Make-up

 

Styling

 

FUN

 

Keep an eye out for my other photo shoots coming soon!!

 

 

Comedy Fashion

Trying to find a link between the serious world of fashion, and my comedic style of work, I have come across these videos.

 

Mature Style



After having a tutorial I feel like im back on track with my true self, the illustrations that I have been doing recently are too serious, and not really portraying me and my thoughts/opinions on fashion.

 

YouTube has become a really quick, easy and very efficent way for me to research, with just a few key words, I am able to find what i want.

 

So, an idea that I'm going to start looking at today is fashion for older women, whether it's keeping up with current trends, or living as a blast from the past.

 

 

Here are some videos about fashionable mature women, enjoy!

The possibilities are endless

I found this image on google and loved the style, the silver, the shapes, and anything else starting with the letter S!

After finding this photo, i then came across the video which it has come from.

This is a catwalk video, showcasing the clothes of Turkish/ British Fashion Designer, Hussein Chalayan.

A wonderfully futuristic idea!

Lacoste

Another futuristic video, this time an advert by Lacoste.

Celebrating their 75th birthday in 2008, this is how they see the future, for tennis!

Future fashion, future perfect

Sparkly Scribbles

 

Using the acetate that i originally drew onto from fashion images out of magazines,( found: Next advert and Star magazine), i have now added a splash of colour, with nail polish.

 

Typography plays a big part in advertising as well as the product, so i added the word 'living', using the front of an Argos catologue, just to test out how lettering fits into the image.
