Using vinyls

I've been experimenting with using vinyls today. There was a slight mishap using the sheer fabric as my design got stuck to the paper underneath in the heat press. After heating it up again and allowing it to melt, I  was able to peel them apart. Look how fab it looks! I love the colours I have chosen and that little splash of gold.

Putting my colour palette to use

So I've chosen my colour palette: mint green and peaches. So I decided to get drawing with some pro-markers that I had in those colours, I tried to be quite naive when using the pens to create quite rough designs. I like the mark making effect the square ends of the pro-markers have created with the floral study.

Using Promarkers

I have used promarkers to create this design. I love the naivety that the pens create as the ink spreads out, the bright colours also look great. some areas of this design could be picked out in the future as development to create a pattern. 

Drawing from my photographs

Drawing a doorway i spotted in Tynemouth, I've used watercolour paints and fine liner pen to create this study. I love the colours and the different layers of wash I have used. This is definitely something i would like to develop

"Scribble designs"

So to loosen up with my drawings I tried some scribble type drawings with a biro pen. I drew from some of my own photography, focusing on doorways using marking making and some continuous line with the biro. It was nice to use this way of drawing rather than having to perfect shading and tone, I could use a view finder later to draw from some areas, or even to create texture with other methods.
