girl inc. and seventeen magazine hosted a competition to design underwear.
i designed 14 different sets of underwear, and paper dolls that went along with the underwear for someone to see how if would fit on a girl.
i had 3 different dolls, a blonde, a brunette and a red head.
i couldn't have naked dolls so i put patterns on the bodies of the dolls, so each doll is unique in her own way, with her own personality.
i designed the dolls with pen and ink, then i added colour with markers and pencil crayons.
layering the colours to create a unique look.
i think the pencil crayons and the markers worked well together.
it really expressed each dolls individual personality.
the underwear was illustrated by hand using a pen, then scanned and coloured in illustrator.
it was a lot of fun using different mediums together, finding out what works for each design.
it was a learning curve for me, and definitely something i want to try again.
i had so much fun doing this competition, i did whatever i wanted to do, there were no limits.
it was such a freeing project and i loved expressing myself.
underwear shouldn't always be a serious thing it can be fun and free too.
i had a lot of different designs, but i loved all of them.
in the end all my hard work paid off because i won the competition.
it was a big honour winning it and making my mark on something that i have never tried before.
i enjoy trying different things and pushing myself.
i learn something new about myself every day.
