A bit of costume design work that I did last night.
I've been throwing costume ideas around for a while, and figured I'd simplify things down to silhouettes.
The benefit of this is that you see what shapes have the most impact, a visual balance, and by adding little lumps and edges here and there your mind then inspires you to think of it in further detail - what material could that be caused by? What detail does that lead to?
Silhouetting stops you from over-thinking.
Now I can pick and mix from the shapes I'm happy with to go on to develop specifics; materials, colours, patterns and even finer details (stitching, buttons, embellishments etc.)
I also need to produce a sheet for the Princes, the King, and the Queen.
I'd be really interested in hearing any opinions on what designs stand out!

ReplyDeleteDuly noted, Janapanda! Lace preferred over puffy sleeving cuffs..?
ReplyDeleteOne Promo Girl portrait at a time, Fox! I don't know what it says when I had that same idea and imagined you'd think of it too.
'Great minds' is what it says!
