Last Night i watched the film 'In the Company of Wolves' which is based on an Angela Carter Book and is basically a re-telling of the story of little red riding hood. I really liked the costumes in this film, she only really had two full costumes but throughout the film they were worn in different combinations to create a variety of outfits. While i was watching i did some quick costume sketches which i later coloured on my computer.
I really like her second costume, with the red floral skirt, black velvet bodice and traditional red cloak, i think if i get chance over the summer i might try and make at least one of these costumes for myself.
I will also take this opportunity to tell you all about the online shop i am planning on opening. I am thinking over the summer trying to sell some costumes of mine, specifically 18th century stays. I will make a variety of styles of stays to a variety of standard sizes (eg size 10, 12, 14 etc).
an example of some 18th century stays that i made in the past.
Your sketches are great! :) Do you use a tablet to colour them?
ReplyDeleteNot exactly, i do use photoshop but i dont have a tablet so i have to just use my mouse to select sections and paste in the colour and do the best i can :-/ its not ideal but until i can buy myself a tablet it will do :)
