EMPOWERING THE BEAUTIFUL SHAPES WITHIN THE FEMALE FORM

(AD138: FASHION ILLUSTRATION AND IMAGING – IDENTITY AND THE BODY)

 

After working with Oil pastels within my previous female form illustrations, I decided I wanted to work with them again. I wanted to use them to create beautiful shapes and remove the identity of the subject so that it was just seen as beautiful. The subjects I chose were rolls of skin or fat, or whatever you’d like to call them.

I really like the way these oil pastel illustrations turned out. I love the way that the colours that are seen throughout the zine are used within these illustrations. 

I think I would like to use these illustrations within my final zines, however due to the way oil pastels work and are manipulated with heat and movement, it would not be possible to have them naturally in my zine, therefore they will have to be scanned in and printed for the physical copies. This is unfortunate but, it is something that you learn and realise when it comes to physical production.
