Skinn finally decided to focus on just the one character, Dr. Strange, with him pointing at the reader, and drew a rough for me to follow using a logo designed by fellow artist Steve Parkhouse.

COVER CHARACTERS Whether working on established characters or your own, there are pros and cons It’s nice to be given the run of the toy-box, and certainly I’ve had that on Superman and Green Lanterns On the other hand, creating your own stuff has its own rewards, and of course in today’s market, where it’s possible to retain rights, that’s by far the preferable situation from a business or financial point of view

172 >> Chapter 6: design

I tightened up the topline, moved Dr. Strange’s hand away from his face and got rid of the awful window surround on the visual. Drawing in traditional marker pen and color pencils, I also gave Strange the more traditional hand gesture made famous by the character’s original creator, Steve Ditko.

Despite the project never taking off, decades later Skinn digitally redesigned the cover, simplifying the speech balloon to just “Dare You Enter?” and moving the teaser text to the dead-space over the castle, creating a much tighter overall look.

TO SCAN

OMBRE POLISH •

Apply a white base colour to the nail first so that the ombré can pop.

•

Select your colours and apply each band of polish in turn onto a rectangular wedge make-up sponge.

Groomed hair is a red-hot street style trend for men, inspired by style bloggers, sports stars, actors and models. Despite this popularity there is a distinct lack of consolidated and authoritative advice on the techniques required to create these styles. This book pulls together 60 classic men’s hairstyles and facial hair looks, with easy to follow illustrated step-by-step tutorials. Trendsetters from teens to professionals will love mix-and-matching different hairstyles, beards, mustaches, and sideburns, for nights out, the office or holiday. Simple, how-to illustrations take the guesswork out of styling, while on-trend, approachable fashion photography demonstrates how to wear each ‘do. With advice for different haircuts, types and lengths, plus plenty of grooming tips, Man vs Hair is the must-have resource for amazing beards, buzzcuts, and man buns.

EASY MAN BUN LONGER ‘DOS

A favorite of urban hipsters, the Man Bun is the easy-to-wear cousin of the lazy pony and undercut top knot. Coming to a trendy coffeeshop near you, the man bun combines well with a beard anad tattoos. If you don’t want to cut your hair for an undercut look, the man bun is a helpful compromise.

DIFFICULTY - Medium IDEAL FACE SHAPE - Oblong and oval. IDEAL HAIR - Mid-length; medium to thick; straight to curly.

3. Keep twisting your hair until it starts to twist on itself and shape into a coiled man bun. Use your hair elastic to secure. 4. Use your fingers to add some additional volume around the crown, and avoid the top of your head looking too flat. 5. Use your fingers to add some additional volume around the crown, and avoid the top of your head looking too flat.

• Covers every dress and skirt style, from gowns to pencil skirts. • Includes advice on adapting pattern templates, replicating favourite skirts and dresses, and even creating original designs from scratch. • Pattern templates are downloadable for readers to adapt.

Symmetry Most garments have a symmetrical nature, and it is important that stripes, tartans, checks, and prints are cut so that the parts from either side of the garment mirror one another. There are two forms of each: even checks and balanced stripes that repeat symmetrically in either direction, and uneven checks and unbalanced stripes that do not. Always cut striped or checked pieces individually, marking stripe locations on the edge of the pattern so they can be matched exactly for the opposite, adjoining piece. To achieve a professional look, match horizontal stripes or checked patterns at vertical seams such as the center front, back, and side seams. Sleeves should also be cut so that the pattern continues visually at the same height around the whole garment.

Two-way patterns such as small, busy floral prints have a specific direction, but not one that is so significant as to warrant one-way-only positioning.

One-way patterns have a distinct and dominant design direction, which means that all pieces must be positioned and cut in the same direction.

Fabrics with border prints such as for a skirt hem are often cut on the crossgrain so that the border runs horizontally across the garment.

Non-directional patterns such as polka dots, checks, and stripes have no specific direction, so they can be positioned in opposite directions (if the pile allows).

DRESSES

Pintuck Shift Dress

CONSTRAST STITCHING

The pintucks require some precision sewing, but once they are done the rest of the dress is straightforward. If skill and time permit, you could add a lining or consider adding sleeves using the sleeve block.

The pintucks radiating from the waist dart of this classic shift dress are very flattering to curvy and straight body shapes alike and turn a simple shape into an elegant style. This design works well in a range of fabrics, from crisp silk shantung for evening to wool crepe for a smart day dress and soft linen for a relaxed summer look.

Packed with useful advice and practical instructions, this is the ultimate resource for anyone looking to design, adapt, or customise sewing patterns for women’s clothes. Working with patterns can be a frustrating process but, with its clear, jargon-free text and fully illustrated step-by-step techniques, this accessible book gives readers the confidence they need to create beautiful items, from pencil skirts and pinafores to gorgeous full-length gowns. Confused by pattern symbols? Unsure of the best way to take your own measurements? Pattern Making Templates for Skirts & Dresses will tell you everything you need to know.

Creating the pattern Working from half the basic dress block extended to knee length. The front 1. Pivot the bust dart to open at the side seam and close at the neck. Shorten by 1 1/4 in (3cm) at the bust point (bp).

4 1¼ in

2. Widen the neck at the neck point (np) to make a boat shape. 3. Make room for the pintucks by sliding the waist/hip dart about 2 1/2 in (6cm) toward the side seam. Shorten by 3/4 in (2cm) at the bp. 4. Redraw the hem line 1 1/4 in (3cm) toward the center to narrow the skirt. 5. Your block is now a pattern. Copy the pattern and join the two pieces at the center-front to make a complete front. 6. Working on the whole pattern now, draw lines radiating from the left-side dart—these will be the pin tucks. 7. Trace off the facing.

The back 1. Widen the neck from the np to match the front shoulder seams. 2. Make sure that the side seams are the same length as the front ones. Keep the dart as in the basic block.

Sewing up 1. Start with stitching the pintucks into the front of your dress. Draw your lines onto the right side of the fabric with a long ruler and sharp piece of tailor’s chalk.

2. Use your iron to press these lines into sharp creases and pin or tack them in place before you machine. 3. Sew the waist darts (which will magically hide the ends of your pintucks), followed by the bust darts, back waist darts, and centerback zipper. 4. Sew up your shoulder and side seams before finishing off with your facing.

WHAT YOU NEED • Brush • 2 Hair elastics

This braid is ideal for thick, straight hair as the more hair you have, the bigger the side Viking braid will be. Bigger is always better when it comes to braids. As this style looks so complicated, other parents will be in awe of your handiwork at school drop-off. All egos aside, this is also a beautiful look for your child’s birthday parties and other fun playdates. DIFFICULTY LEVEL Medium IDEAL HAIR LENGTH Medium to long; thick, straight texture ACCESSORIES [AQ- no accessories text supplied. Please can you supply]

Top: insert Bottom (left and right): insert

1. Make a center parting and take a small triangle section, a couple inches away from the hairline, higher up toward the parting, above the ear. [AQ- original text was “down to the lower recession of the head” I don’t know what that means – can we describe the area instead? I’ve tried, based on the photos supplied – can you let me know if it is correct or needs to be changed] Divide the hair into three even sections. 2. Take the left section of hair under the other two strands into the middle; your middle section is now over on the right. Add more hair into the braid, taking a section of hair from the hairline into the braid, incorporating it into the right section. Take the right section with the hair added under the strands into the middle. Add more hair into the braid, taking a section of hair from the parting and incorporating it into the left section. Take the left section with the hair added under the strands into the middle.

TOP TIP If your hair is a silky texture and is slippery, add some sea salt spray before you begin. It will create texture so your style will hold all day.

BRAIDS

Side Fishtail Braid If you have mastered the more common braids, it is time you tried the Side fishtail braid. Many people are intimidated by the look of a fishtail, often fearing that it is too difficult, but once you know the technique it is actually quite easy to do. This look is popular on fashion industry runways and red carpets too because it is so elegant and chic. The real beauty is in its versatility; it can be as casual or dramatic as you like. For that little extra drama, simply pull the braid out for more fullness. Also known as a Herringbone braid, the side fishtail braid works best on long thick hair with minimal layers. Style this for formal occasions when you can invest a little more time in perfecting the look and need it to last. The best thing about a fishtail braid is that once you have set it in place, it does not budge or come undone quickly, and it won’t get frizzy either. Fishtail for the win!

Braids, Bunches and Pigtails for Girls is an essential resource for little girls and their parents, with 50 fun styles for all occasions. Each is accompanied by stylish and easy-to-follow illustrations, and includes cross references to similar styles that you might like to try. You will also find tips for junior hair care, and advice on accessories such as clips and ribbons. Whether your little girl would like a ‘Minnie Mouse’ bun for her birthday party or a French plait for trampolining with friends, Braids, Bunches and Pigtails for Little Girls includes all the information you need to give her a pretty style that she’ll be proud of.

WHAT YOU NEED • Comb • 2 Hair elastics • Scissors

1. Gather the hair to desired side into a loose side ponytail. Secure it in place with a hair elastic. 2. Divide the hair in the side ponytail in half. 3. Starting on the right side take a small piece of hair from the outside of the section up and over to the left side. Next, on left side, take a small piece of hair from the outside of the section up and over to the right side. Repeat these steps until you get to the ends of the hair. 4. Secure the braid at the end with a hair elastic. Carefully cut out the very first elastic at the base of the ponytail. 5. Your braid is complete. To create a fuller fishtail braid, pinch and pull out each section of hair until you create your desired look.

TOP TIP If your hair is really silky, apply a medium hold hair spray for extra grip while you’re braiding so it stays into place. This will make it easier to braid your hair.

Line

Making every mark count There is a beautiful economy of line in this drawing of a packed xiringuito, or beach bar, on the Barcelona shoreline. Our eyes are immediately drawn to the foreground where a busy confusion of diners is sitting on a shaded terrace. It is the liveliness of the line that suggests crowded tables and a hubbub of conversation: the drinkers themselves are shown with a few quick lines and little detail. In the area around the restaurant, people play on the beach and sail boats circle to add to the relaxed atmosphere.

Òscar Julve The sky is shown as diluted, watery washes of blue, in front of which the dark shapes of buildings on the city’s Olympic marina stand out. As a result, the beach bar is thrown into focus. In this drawing—on the distinctive ivory-colored pages of a Moleskine sketchbook—every line and every wash is made to count, and not a drop of ink is wasted.

The blue washes have a big effect on this drawing. The strong contrast between the foreground shadows around the tables and the untouched areas representing the ocean—not one mark is used to represent the surface of the water—highlight the Mediterranean quality of light.

Color

Focusing on a single object Zooming in and focusing on a single subject can make for an arresting image; we get so close to this eye, for instance, we may feel we can almost see our reflection in it. For a single object to fill the paper, it has to be able to grab and hold our attention. Two contrasting media come together for this image. The features of the eye were drawn in ink with a flexible, gold-nibbed fountain pen. (Flexibility in a nib allows it to broaden and then narrow in response to changing pressure as it moves across the paper, to give a variable quality of line.)

Sabine Israel As a backdrop, a selection of color washes in acrylic, ranging in intensity and overlapping in places, have been assembled in Photoshop in what might appear to be a random manner Attention focuses instead at the very center of the image, where the reflected light in the eye shines out.

Packed with creative sketching tips and accessible advice, Pen & Ink offers practical information for all aspiring artists. Exploring around 100 pieces of artwork by contemporary artists, the book examines the different techniques, qualities and effects used to create each piece. Chapters are organised by technique (e.g. line, tone, mixed media), with a category index to help locate subjects that have been painted in similar styles. Large, lavish artwork is accompanied by extended captions and bite-sized tips. Readers are encouraged to discover how similar subjects and styles have been executed by different artists – rather than simply learning to master one single style – and to build on their existing skills by applying the tips in the book. Offering a refreshing change from run-of-the-mill art books, Pen & Ink adopts the unique approach of presenting practical information primarily through the images themselves. James Hobbs is a London-based freelance journalist and artist, and a former editor of Artists & Illustrators magazine. His work has been shortlisted for the Jerwood Drawing Prize and is in a number of European collections. He is a board member of Urban Sketchers, a global collective who draw on location, and is the author of RotoVision’s Sketch Your World. also available:

THE COMPLETE GUIDE TO CUSTOMISING YOUR CLOTHES

Rain Blanken is a designer, seamstress and writer, specialising in upcycling, recycling and reinventing clothing. Rain was taught how to sew and crochet by her mother and grandmother, learning the importance of handmade clothing early in life. After earning a Fine Art degree, Rain went on to become a professional artist and seamstress. She directed an art department at the age of 19, sold her handmade clothing to local shops, and was soon filling custom orders for everything from wedding dresses to Jedi robes. Like all things, Rain’s crafting skills inevitably ended up online. Many stitches later, Rain is now the host of About.com’s DIY Fashion site (diyfashion.about.com), guiding readers to discover their crafty side with DIY clothing, jewellery and costume tutorials. Her daily blog addresses the growing handmade movement, as well as regularly featuring handmade artists who sell their goods online. She currently resides in Beavercreek, Ohio with her husband, three children and a growing army of tiny dogs.

Contemporary Upholstery Techniques and Inspiration for Upstyling your Furniture

Simple sewing techniques for beautiful curtains, drapes, and shades

Divided into three main sections, Contemporary Upholstery begins with an overview of the essential tools and materials needed for home upholstery. The second section includes detailed advice on choosing and working with fabric, including how to select the best fabrics for your project, how to match fabrics with furniture, what the most durable fabrics are, and how to keep fabrics looking fresh and new. Section three provides step-by-step tutorials that are technique rather than project driven and range from quick makeovers to simple solutions for processes like webbing, springing and stuffing. Accompanied by colourful and easy-to-follow illustrations, these tutorials will allow the reader to give their furniture a new lease of life. Alongside the techniques are case studies of projects by contemporary upholsterers. Featuring before and after photos of salvaged photos, the upholsterers explain how they tackled the project, provide information about fabric and colour choices, the challenges faced and share the knowledge they learnt. All this combines to make Contemporary Upholstery the perfect go-to-guide for all creative homemakers looking to give their home that unique, personalised and utterly stylish look.
