I’m having fun!

Some people have been telling me this is “funny, much better than asking questions” and they usually start with feeling embarrassed and when finished the drawing feeling they have done something fun…

Interesting Stories

I got my first guy today!! I think he’s Irish…. >.<
He was just sitting in a café, reading, and I asked him if he could draw himself and he drew this for me! (Below)

I also found someone that is not afraid to draw …. The first time!
He’s a fashion student in AUT, very friendly and stylish, and probably quite good at drawing, look at him! (Below)

That was good start to get guys to draw ^. ^

Major Change

After a discussion with Kathy, I realise that Dress and mannequin are probably not the best way to present the project.

People often relate mannequin to person, because they are the same scale as human, therefore the attention might be on the mannequin, not the drawing …

The second issue is map dress, the drawings are very interesting by themselves, if I put too much focus on “making a dress” there is the danger of losing the project’s meaning. It is more about people on what they are wearing, not making two awesome dresses.
I will keep collecting the drawings on K’Road, now the presentation is much simplified to a 2D presentation, hopefully the focus will be clear.

Budget and quote@.@

so, money,money,money!

I went to a screen printing shop today and got the quote (attached)for my project ...

so far I have collected about 20 drawings~~ but my target is 60~80

after that , they will all be printed on fabric, the biggest size in the shop is A2, I will have about 5 of those....

The other thing is fabric, I'm going to use black and white chiffon (or other material depend on if its printable)

The working mannequin (bloody mary) is borrowed from a friend, the ones that are going to exibition..can we borrow them from AUT fashion school? (I have sent an email to artfrom mannequin but no reply>.<

first time >.<

I hand out some flyers to people ~~ and no one has refused me so far ^.^ that's very lucky!

But the first thing everyone say to me is : I'm not that good at drawing~~(even a fashion designer said that too!)

I also need to ask some guys to draw......
