We were asked this time to create an A3 collage of some clothes. I Chose some of my clothes that had a similar colour and pattern scheme, so they fitted together better. I began by using watercolour pencils to shade in half of the drawing. With the cardigan I began with a red pencil and added in brown and plum to show the creases in the sleeves. With the dress I layered different colours to create the netting effect, and added a darker colour afterwards to show the creases in the skirt. As the dress wasn't all one colour, I used a few different colours as the dress looks different in various lights, so aimed to create a mix of those, with quite an abstract feel. I then did the other half using collage. I began with the bed sheets, and used different pieces of spotted paper to create a similar effect, However, I wanted to bring across a more abstracted feel again, so stuck them on in different colours so it appeared different to the original picture. I also used sweet wrappers in bright colours, and layered them with pieces of magazine to create some texture, again not wanting the image to look how it did in the original. I layered different colours together, to show that same abstract effect that I did with the colour pencil. For the tights, I used black pieces of magazine, and sponged little bits of pink and green paint over the top to make the flowers in the tights. I like the way the second half of the image looks and feels, as it being totally different to the first half. However you can still work out what it is. I realised I had not blended the two together and had created a harsh line in between the two types of media, so to improve I should have blended them to show a contrast, rather than it looking really harsh.
