Feathers are great I love them nearly as much as fur. I think my fondness comes from the inspiring designs that the great late Alexander McQueen produced. Although feathers can be light and angelic, they can also be dark, moody and quite evil in appearance. Colleen Atwood use them beautifully in Snow White and the Huntsman for Charlize Theron's costumes.
The dark sinister feel is amazing, the darkness really caught my attention and I decided to design a few like that. But with more of a feminine thuch.
This was the first and most horrible of drafts, drawn with my four year old nieces pens. I've tried to create a sharp bodice that flows in to a feathered skirt.
That then inspired this page of doodles, at first I mainly focused on the bodices, but the huge feathered skirt made a reappearance far right.
I really liked the end image. So re did it portrait on a3. To start I used pencil and fine liners. I couldn't make it dark enough so added black acrylic.
A quick comparison to the first.
A close up of the feathers. I love how mutch detail I managed to cram in.
The shoes id love to make these, it's a shame my name isn't Louboutin. Maybe one day they will be real.
