Drawing Week 4: Items of clothing - Will Stevens

For this final drawing week we began with Will Steven's drawing session. We were instructed to bring with 3 items of clothing: a hat, someone else's shoes and a mysterious piece of clothing. Then we proceeded with the drawing tasks...

For the first task we had to recreate the shoe we had brought with using newspaper. Mine was a child's shoes so much easier to recreate than most peoples due to the small scale of it. Nevertheless, it wasn't an easy task!

For the second task, we had to choose one of our next pieces of clothing. I chose my 'mysterious' item, which was an odd sock. We had to draw a character in a setting, wearing the item of clothing in the correct context. I drew a caterpillar, camping outside, in my bed sock. This was a lighthearted and fun task.

For the third task, we had to take our final item of clothing (my hat) and create a scenery with it, in which characters had to interact with the object. I very unsuccessfully attempted to turn my hat into a bridge, which just collapsed! (oh dear) Nevertheless, some were really fun, one girl turned her top into a hot air balloon!

For the final task, we were split into three groups and had to put all our items of clothing together to create an animal. My group made a lion!

The peacock (my favourite)

Apparently a turkey! 

This was a really fun way to experiment with the playfulness of clothing, encouraging us to be creative and unique in our approach to the materials and restrictions you are given.
