Sketchbook two.

I started to get really into working in my sketchbook, if not in all honesty in neglect to the 'quality drawings' we are supposed to be producing. I think in this sense I personally see this as a good thing for me- I often see the sketchbook as a secondary element in a project which it shouldn't be but for some reason this time I'm loving it more than is healthy I think. Not in a deep and unnerving way though- nothing weird.

The bottom image is just a quick collage I had done that became surprisingly visually useful in what I could use it for. Again its graphic nature is something I worry about, but can't avoid liking, maybe its potential manipulation into a pattern piece could be the answer to my work at the moment.

The top image is really, if clear, the idea I want to be running with- I managed to produce a three-dimensional sculpture from coat hangers (inspiring to me it seems) and from this simplistic idea I have gathered so many thoughts and ideas on how this could progress into garment shape/pattern piece design. I guess sometimes the concepts that seem throwaway at first quickly become the crucial link in a project and its development. I began today playing with the idea of negative space, although this is something that isn't manifesting itself into anything influentially beautiful yet. I'm beginning to see exhausting all possibilities is producing the best results from this project but the time in which I have to do this means I'm falling behind on hitting the 'numbers' for how many drawings I have to do. The word quality seemingly means time-consuming, as it should I guess.
