I'm currently working on a collection of superhero-inspired fashions for my portfolio class, and I'm having a lot of fun with it. My concept for the collection stems from a combination of my dissatisfaction with the impracticality and vulgarity of many female superhero costumes and my desire to step outside of my comfort zone and design an edgier and more modern collection of garments that aren't all based on the idea of an hourglass silhouette and tons of ruffles and gathers. I also wanted this collection to be more practical and woman-friendly, but I don't think I've gotten there yet, even though I think that the woman who could wear these clothes would feel quite empowered by them.

The project has been a great experience so far because it has provided me with a great opportunity to learn more about comic book superheroes and expand my horizons, plus I get to experiment with all these dynamic poses.



I really want to do poses like this for all of my drawing projects now, hahaha.
