I morphed a dress with a flower for my project, because the petals of a flower often look like the skirt of a dress. To do this, I first drew a sketch of a fashion model, who in drawings are often not actually proportional. Instead of being 7 heads tall, they are usually 9. Then, I planned which flower I would use for the skirt of the dress. After that, I drew a sketch of what I wanted the top of my flower dress to look like. When my sketch was finished, I traced it on to larger paper, leaving a space where the flower will fit on the skirt. I colored it using Prismacolor colored pencils, and then put the flower on top! One thing I struggled with during this project was using the Prismacolor pencils because I had never used them before. Her skin ended up being a little more orange than I had hoped because the pencils didn't have a peach skin color so I had to mix the colors together. I now sort of know how to work the pencils. This is the warmup I benefited most from for this drawing, on the left is my unfinished warmup and on the right is the actual picture. It taught me how to see lines instead of things and also taught me to not symbolize as I was drawing (That's a foot, that's a leg), but more see the drawing as it is and as it should be: a bunch of lines.
