In today class session, we spend about 30 minutes doing some sketches about one of our design. It helps develop the initial ideas and can be much easier to form the final design.
I added the basic primitive elements of Africa to the sketches and tried to develop two of my original ideas, including using animal fur shapes and hair pines as the major design. Secondly, using Africa tribal art of the primitive period, the sculpture on the wooden mask as the focal point of the overall design. I tested and drew a simple mask next to the paper, but it seemed too friendly to suit the original purpose of the African mask, therefore I didn't add it to the suit draft finally. Also as you can see from the side, I have taken into account the type of buttons, which is more suitable and how to incorporate them into the suits

When sharing the idea with the class, I just noticed that the proportions of the portrait models didn't match with their proper structure, so I decided to re-draw their proportions by referring to the website shared by our tutor Sam. Although the distance of my model's thigh has been improved after the second observation of the template, and it is much more closely with the original standard, I am still not satisfied with the last practice exercise, for the same mistake, the length of the calf could be lengthened bit more...Maybe I should print them out and directly draw on top on the paper to practise a few times first, I hope I can learn from the failure of this experience and keep practising to get improve in this semester.
