We were encouraged to get started on spec drawings as we have to put these into a look/catalogue type book at the end. I have started a few garments and find spec drawing a great process for finalising ideas and seeing what they look like to the correct proportions (although still a little long on the legs) To do my spec drawings I picked a model and on one half did the front and on the other the back, I then scanned and in photoshop copyied and mirrored to create full back and front.
I think after doing these I would love to use them along with photoshop fabric rendering in order to produce my final looks. I think this would be a quick and accurate way of finalising my looks. Although the photoshoped, clean lined look is not very in keeping with my theme (fragility and memory) I think in conjunction with more organic backgrounds and possibly a water colour figure, the end look could be both informative and have retain a sense of delicacy and memory.
