Colour Studies: Clothes

For this week's homework, our assignment was to create an A4 study in colour of either a pile of clothes or various items of clothing hung up or arranged in a specific way. The goal being; how well we can re-create the look and realistic style of creases and features of the different materials and how they appear when positioned in a specific way.

I chose to create my piece of work on a piece of A4 black paper, meaning that when it came to adding colour, the white outline of the actual items of clothing contrasted and highlighted each colour that I used, giving the image a sharper edge whilst simultaneously allowing each crease and fold in the clothing to stand out.

I decided to choose to draw a selection of wedding styled dresses hung on a rack.
I chose these items because of the difference between each item of clothing, both style and colour wise, deciding that challenging myself to some degree with a subject that I have rarely previously drawn would be an effective way of helping myself to develop some kind of technique if ever I am asked to create a similar image.
