yesterday was such a crappy day! I don't know. I just couldn't work, I had such a block, it wasn't even fun. I couldn't think of a design, and then I tried to do what I'm use to by working 2D and jotting my designs down but the whole time "work 3D first" was going round my head. I tried. I failed.
I couldn't work 2D because I just didn't like the 'girl' I was drawing my designs on, and I don't want to just steal someone else's from the fashion sketchbooks. I went home in the end, watched hours of Alexander McQueen catwalks and eventually by 12pm that night, I had 'my own girl'.
Today we had our tutor come round one by one to see our work, I didn't seem to get in trouble for having nothing done - some people have 15 designs done! I have none. I don't think she felt overly impressed and I felt really bad. It's not like I wasn't trying, because believe me I really was! I just couldn't get any designs out of my head, I don't know why, and I don't want to give a bad impression! I really sat all night rubbing and re-drawing the 'girl', I'm really not a slacker! :-(
Now I've got my girl designed I've been working away! I love it! Just it's a bit tedious working with paper (not like I've much experience either with fabric, but it's much harder with paper). I did buy some, so I'll try it.
I guess my 'block' was down to some bad start in the day or not feeling inspired.
I went out tonight for Jane's birthday though! The restaurant was amazing, the food was amazing! I had a really good time and it's really put me in a happy mood to work, so I'm back now and I've got my sketchbook open. I'm determined to get all my designing done by Monday to start on my actual real mannequin!
The napkin was so inspiring I just had to take it from the restaurant (it's the image at the top!)
