OKAY, SO IT'S QUITE EVIDENT I CAN'T DRAW, WITH THAT CLEAR I NEED TO TAKE A DIFFERENT ROUTE WHEN DESIGNING. WE HAD A LESSON WITH OUR TUTOR EMILY THE OTHER DAY WHEREBY WE ALL SAT IN A CIRCLE ON THE FLOOR INFRONT OF A MANIKIN AND WERE TOLD TO DRAW IT IN VARIOUS DIFFERENT WAYS SUCH AS DRAWING IT WITHOUT LOOKING AT IT, DRAWING IT USING A CONTINUOUS LINE, 5 SECOND, TEN SECOND DRAWINGS ETC. WE WERE ALSO TOLD TO DRAW WITH OUR LEFT HAND BECAUSE IT GETS THE CREATIVE SIDE OF YOUR BRAIN WORKING WHICH I DID TRY IN THIS PARTICULAR DESIGN/DRAWING WHATEVER YOU WANT TO CALL IT. CONCIDERING THERE WASNT MUCH THOUGHT PUT INTO MY DRAWINGS I WAS QUITE HAPPY WITH THEM THEREFORE I GOT HOME AND GOT DESIGNING ALTHOUGH I'M STILL STUCK FOR DESIGNS I JUST STARTED PUTTING DOWN WHATEVER WAS RUNNING THROUGH MY HEAD. I'M OBSESSED WITH SKULLS AT THE MOMENT, THE LOOK OF THEM AND HOW 3'D THEY CAN MAKE A GARMENT LOOK. IV'E BEEN STRUGGLING WITH TRYING TO MAKE MY DESIGNS LOOK ORIGIONAL AND DESIGN TEMPLATES MAKE ME WANT TO CRY, AS I CANT DRAW IN PROPORTION TO SAVE MY LIFE AS RUPERT MAY KNOW I DECIDED TO TRY SOMETHING DIFFERENT SO I DREW A SKULL FOR A HEAD, IF YOU KNOW ME YOU SHOULD ALSO KNOW I HAVE A MAD OBSESSION WITH DRAG QUEENS AND TRANSVESITES. WHAT THERE ABOUT, HOW THEY LOOK, HOW THEY ACT, HOW THEY TALK. EVERYTHING. I HAD THIS VISION OF ALL MY GARMENTS BEING WORN BY MEN EVEN THOUGH THEY WOULD BE DESIGNED FOR WOMEN TO MAKE THEM LOOK VERY CONTRIVERSIAL AND EXCITING.
WE'VE BEEN GIVEN A NEW PROJECT LATELY ON APOCALYPSE WHICH ANNOYINGLY I CAN'T SEEM TO BE INSPIRED BY. WHEN IT WAS FIRST ANNOUNCED I WAS SO ENTHUSIASTIC I WENT STRAIGHT TO THE LIBARY AND THATS WHERE THE PROBLEM BEGAN I SUPPOSE. I HATE CLICHES. I LIKE MY DESIGNS TO PROVOKE INTREST AND THOUGHT, NOT TO BE PREDICTABLE. I WAS SO DESPERATELY TRYING TO AVOID A TYPICAL 'APOCALYPSE' SITUATION SUCH AS AN ICE AGE OR GLOBAL WARMING/MACHINES TAKING OVER THE WORLD.
I'M READING A BOOK AT THE MOMENT CALLED BRISINGR WHICH MEANS FIRE IN ELVISH, IT'S MAINLY ABOUT DRAGONS WHICH GOT ME WONDERING WHAT THE WORLD ENDED AND DRAGONS TOOK OVER JUST LIKE WHEN DINOSAURS WERE ABOUT AND ONLY I WAS LEFT?
I TRIED TAKING THE ROUTE OF BEING THE LAST DRAG QUEEN ON EARTH AND IMAGINING WHAT THE HELL I WOULD WEAR BECAUSE WHEN YOU GET INTO THE ROUTINE OF LOOKING LIKE THAT IT'S HARD NOT TO EVEN WHEN NO-ONES AROUND BUT THAT IDEA FAILED AS I JUST COULDN'T PICTURE IT; WHICH IS WHERE I GUESS THE WHOLE SKELETAL TRANSVESTITE DESIGN CAME INTO PLACE. CLEARLY IT'S NOT FINISHED, HARDLY EVEN STARTED IN ALL FAIRNESS, I'M REALLY NOT HAPPY WHERE THIS PROJECT IS GOING AND THERES ONLY A LIMITED AMOUNT OF TIME BEFORE THE SKETCHBOOKS ARE IN, I NEED SOME SORT OF INSPIRATION VERY SOON...
