FMP Illusration

This week I have been trying different medias and techniques in which I could create a visionary illustration of my final dress design. I tried using things such as collage, fabric, emulsion paint, glue gun and stitch, I decided on using a combination of medias; ink and stitch. As my theme is tailoring and angles, I used the ink with an old, run out fine liner dipped in the ink, after discovering the effect just messing around cleaning the pen. I gives a scratchy sharpness to the image which works well with my theme. After trying the technique multiple times I chose the most successful. Although the illustration is successful I felt it needed something else for the wow factor. I looked through my sketch book at different medias I had used, and like the stitch media. I then took my illustration and stitched in straight lines, stopping at points with my needle in and pivoting to create sharp angles over the illustration tying in my theme of tailoring and angles. I am going to use this process for my final A2 illustration board.
