Knowing the style in which I wanted my prints to be used within garments, I researched the style of clothing I wanted, the customer I was looking for and the position that would create a good canvas for my prints. With this all in mind, I then started to sketch my illustrations. Initially it didn't go very well (I'm not going to show you these examples). I think I was over thinking the style in which I drew the figure too much; so instead I sketched just the way I would usually and then better illustrations started to form. I like detail within my work, so I decided to include tone and texture within my sketches as it reflects my work effectively. I used pencil to draw my illustrations so when scanning them into the computer to place my prints onto, the lines were very faint. This meant I had to adjust the levels; initially I thought would ruin my work and give it a completely different look, however I think it worked really well as the texture was enhanced and the features and lines looked defined.
