Sophia Lauren and Gucci

Pin-Up Assignment

Hey Guys,

The stuff you guys have been posting so far looks great and I look foward to seeing them all in class.

Here are some examples of the Louis Vuitton, Miu Miu, and Marc Jacobs campaigns that inspired this assignment.

Please use either the Spring 07 collections or the Fall 07 collections. Again the goal is to not only do a portrait but to reflect the current trends in fashion. So it should be a lot of research and drawing.

So on Monday I look foward to seeing your sketches and reference. The final should be at least 8"x10". Please work at least to size.

Please remember to wear your favorite clothes on Monday, it doesn't matter what they are as long as you really like them.

Oh and be prepared to draw.

See you soon,

Kris

abe lincoln/ysl

right now this is what i have, i'm still trying to get the lincoln likeness (likenesses are not one of my strong suits)

Lyse's Sketches

I received Yohji Yamamoto and Prince, and here's my sketches. I apologize for being late with them; yesterday blogger just wasn't loading and then I fell asleep. I posted them here as soon as I woke up. As for the sketches, I'm strongly leaning towards the red jacket outfit (I feel like it fits his personality well), but I don't know if the pose I drew him in there works ok. It's a bit boring, but I tried to look at TONS of Prince photo's to get some poses down. I was thinking about maybe drawing the red jacket on the guitar playing pose? We'll see. Any advice would be much appreciated, as always. =)

dolly parton/ chanel

here are some of my rough sketches for dolly parton/ chanel. Dolly generally wears low necklines and has outfits that are borderline tacky... so I put some Spring 2007 chanel couture on her. I did some sketches with the clothes on her existing poses.



I'm not sure if I'm going in the right direction with the assignment... to get myself thinking, I replaced the clothing she had on in her photos with the chanel clothes. I don't know if I should go further in that direction or what.

grace jones!

I have grace jones who is amazingly scary but very fun. Im putting christopher kane stuff on her and hes got some crazy stuff, so its perfect. I like that she had really wide shoulders and thought she would look good in some of the sleeveless dresses ( as well as bright 80s colored one, btw... im sorry i dont have color, i promise that ill have these sketches colored) and speaking of color im really not sure how i want to color these. half of me wants to use flat color and the other half wants to use ink and some photoshop. anyways some imput would be nice!
hmm... i could go crazier with the poses. Btw... ever one should look her up on youtube. shes got some insane videos!

Emma's Audrey Hepburn / Tsumori Chisato sketches

I found alot of Chisato's clothes that I really fell in love with, though not all of it is things that seemed to go along with Audrey, so I went through a bunch of images from her past collections (what I'm showng here is mainly spring '06 & '07) culling what seemed most "Audrey" to me. : ) There was a cool fall line a few seasons back, but I think because I'm feeling springy what with the cherry blossoms and all, I wanted to go more in that direction.

My darling Brigitte

So, I have Brigitte Bardot. The piece I chose is from the Spring 07 Dolce & Gabanna collection... it has the poppy colors of the 60's with a pin-up flair.






I also did some likeness studies from photos of Brigitte... the first page is a good likeness, the second is eh... I got her nose wrong somewhere.
