Assignment 2: Kimono Frenzy

Well, after much research on the traditional kimono, I have gathered ample knowledge to start work. Not much could be said for the drawing process, though I was satisfied with how the drawings turned out. ( On a side note, a kimono without the human figure in it, especially the ones I drew, felt eerie... like a headless ghost >_< )

Kimono I drew as conceptual sketches.

I went on to refine and drew a satisfactory kimono as shown below. And beside it is a kimono photo that would appear in the final cut.

The final Kimono I chose to do and headless kimono O_o

What I feel that is worth mentioning is the final abstraction process. In fact it was the most time consuming process, ( besides the brainstorming for ideas) and I ended up with a lot of different versions of my abstractions.. I guess most people might have encountered the same problem. Well, it boiled down to a matter of choice again. Maybe I'll print all of them out, just to display them in class when we ask for opinions and such.

Hm, should i add a shadow for the kimono? Hmm... design seems to incooperate alot of decision making..
