Cambodian Artwork

So on Monday my sewing project was due in at school, and today me and my friend who also does this subject presented our garments in Assembly!!

My design is inspired by the impact of the Khmer Rouge regime in Cambodia during the 1970's, and their slow progress and regrowth since then.

Now these are a few shots from my friends' garment!

And here's a few shots of my project when worn!

I have included my design development drawings because I spent a long time on them and feel they need some recognition too! The drawings aren't totally honest, but they show a fair depiction of the general progression of ideas leading up to my final design.

Drawing, drawing, drawing...

As I am about to begin a textiles class at school, I thought I should put some work into getting better at fashion drawings.

Not that I'm saying any are particularly fashionable.

I was helped along the way though, so you might be able to see the way my original fairly-preportionate manga-ish drawings turn into more stylised, yet realistic drawings.

(Hopefully clicking on them will enlarge them, if they appear too small....)

based on a photo. which i could have created this out of my head...

this one was based on fanart of the Zelda character Midna in human form. Something weird with her feet... O_O

This is a drawing of a childhood figure I created in the first novel I ever wrote, starting at age 10 and finishing age 13.

okay, now we're getting into fashion designing.

random schoolgirl portrait. When i began on the eyes, it was going to be a model... thats why they're scarily 'made-up'
