For this task I was required to choose a word from a list, the Idea here was to illustrate the qualities of the item rather than its function. I chose Umbrella, i created a mood board to try to recreate the qualities found in an umbrella, I used plastic bags among other things to try to recreate the look of a wet umbrella.
I then found an old umbrella and photographed it. I produced a simple line drawing including some tone to render the creases and folds of the crumpled material.
I photocopied the drawing and cut out the parts to make a stencil, I used bin liners and pva glue to replicate the wet looking material then creased and stretched it tight in places and crumpled in others, I used silver foil to add in some struts and metal under frame.
If I could do this task again I would do this on a much larger scale, as it was small I struggled to get the control and detail needed to convey what was in my head, I photographed and tried to add some structure back in the image with my procreate software.
While I wasn’t 100% happy with the outcome I was mostly pleased with the effect It created.
