Development work

Once I had collected and compiled all my research, I started tracing popular superheroes and villains to get and idea of the shapes in their clothing, for referencing when I start making the patterns for my final piece.
This was really useful for me because the way that I personally design is very realistic, and I focus more on my designs being a guideline to the garment's construction, rather than the aesthetics of it for a show. Tracing their outfits helped me better understand how the garments were made, and within this process i had to deconstruct everything from the beginning to the end.
