Quick Sketches

       It is now reaching the time within my Final Major Project (FMP) to begin designing for my final outcome(s). I really enjoy producing these quick sketches as they are easy and an extremely quick process to carry out to help inspire my future designs, plus rough designs are crucial for anyone who wants to create their own collection as it enables you to exhaust every thought process you may have. In addition to this, I feel that being a designer, it is crucial to have many of these quick sketches to move on and be more creative with potential outcomes. In some aspects, I find quick designs to be rather difficult when you have done quite a few, whereas when I am doing illustrations, it enables me to have a better perspective of scale and also the details on top of the garment pieces. As you can see, some of my designs reflect off of details, shredding, singeing, pleating and much more which I have worked off from my stand works and experiments. 

     The collars were probably my favourite sketches which I did, although if I am planning to use knitwear, it could result in being very difficult to shape and keep it in position, but this must be a task I will face in due time. If I could have done anything differently, I would have liked to of created more of these sketches, but I was quite limited on time considering my brief, not to mention I still have an accessory piece planned to construct very soon and I don't want to rush that process. Also, it would have been quite interesting to see how my quick sketches could have looked with templates, although I think that would defy the point of calling them "quick" sketches, but perhaps in another project I can try that idea.

    Overall, I am very happy with the sketches I have produced and from the start of this course, I can definitely say that my drawing skills and capabilities have developed much more and I feel that I am more confident with my sketches. Moreover, I am really excited to start developing much more designs to make my final outcome even stronger, along with my samples and processes. Not to mention, I have a lot of ideas that I can work from with all the work I have due in my FMP up to this point. Despite all this, I hope to be doing many more quick sketches and have at least 3-400 overall throughout the whole of this project so that I have true evidence of exhausting all of my ideas and link to how my final garment(s) got to that point.
