the pictures from the clothing livestream! unfortunately I drew them all while talking, but hopefully i’ll be able to record them in the future
The main point of the entire lecture however was when approaching any kind of clothing or pattern its important to break it down. Before starting on the final picture do several roughs where you draw out the design (even if it looks ugly). That way you understand the composition and can either reduplicate it OR change it up to fit your needs!
lace, jewelry, prints, and fancy designs are in fact comprised of a bunch of very simple replicated images. what seems impossible is in fact just crescents, hearts, and tiny circles! or a series of diamonds with smaller diamonds and circles inside (diamondception). Same with complicated fashion; identify the large shapes and the angle of the body then WHALA! of course it ends up looking better after a few tries haha
and of course that less can be more, especially with thinks like wrinkles and folds, and if you’re scared to draw clothes over your figure get over it. You’ll draw a million better figures! dont hold yourself back
Essentially, the homepage has a box you can type a name you like into, then you’ll be presented with lists of male, female and unisex names related it by user votes and a google-like “also searched for…” feature. There are three ways to use this website.
01: RANDOMLY. You don’t have to type a name to begin, you can just click one and keep going until you’re satisfied.
02: BY VIBE. Writing a stereotypical high school cheerleader who feels like a Claire, but isn’t? Search Claire and you’ll get tons of names with a similar feel. This also works with time period names.
03. BY ETHNICITY / NATIONALITY. In my screenshot, you can see I was searching for a name for Avan Jogia. I don’t know about you, but I think their very first suggestion of Ketan is perfect. This can help you make sure you aren’t entirely white washing names for a lack of options on most name lists.
Additionally, you can click the lines beside a name to add it to your favorites list (stored with cookies), so you can organize all your options as you go. Have fun!
