I love this part, receiving a new brief. Reading through my mind is whirling with all the possibilities.
It's a wallpaper design task, there are three options to choose from, dense floral, think Liberty and William Morris, illustrative or an abstract street art type style.
After my initial research, I quite fancied opting for illustrative, thinking I should broaden my drawing horizon. Then after a few days of planning and initial sketching I have opted for florals.
I love drawing flowers and I can draw flowers and everyone knows my favourite fabrics are always Liberty. Therefore it makes sense to build on what I already know and have ability in. Rather than using a live brief with a looming deadline to test out new drawing skills.
I seem to have been influenced more by foliage, I've completed initial drawings in a variety of media, but they are all leaves.
Well currently they are, I've returned from Marksies with a beautiful bunch of tulips.....
