Developing my drawings

P H O T O S H O P  

This week I have been using photoshop to develop my drawings further. I have also created a mood board for my weave which I think has really helped me and I now feel that my work is going in the direction that I want it to. The abstract drawings and getting out of my sketchbook have enabled me to enjoy what I am doing and choose a colour palette. 

I wanted to develop my drawings more, and look at which individual parts of them that I like in order to be able to translate this into my weave.  

I started by scanning my drawings and then cutting and layering them by hand. An example of one of them is the image below.

From this point I then scanned them again, and started doing the same again but this time digitally on photoshop. 

After developing them further I have now found the qualities that I want to take through into my weave. I now know that I want to try some samples using white space or this could perhaps be created using floats or shimmering yarns. I also want to create some patterns where the colour blends as this is evident in my drawings. I would also like to think about my previous ideas on movement and so perhaps take this into my weaving as well somehow.
