I feel like this is something I have always wanted to talk about. Rupaul's Drag Race is a show on Netflix which is similar to Americas next top model, only this time, Americas Drag Superstar. This show has been such a huge inspiration for me both personally and creatively. In terms of it informing my creative practice, it has allowed me to take a whole new direction with illustration. The overall craft and creativity is something I am so drawn to in the show - I feel like some people don't appreciate the art and talent that goes into transforming yourself into a woman. Some of the drag queens make outfits literally from scratch, which is a huge talent in itself. They are able to become and own their alter ego and transform into a completely different character, something which I have achieved in this specific project and my gif one.
It has inspired me to design and make my own outfit, whether that be for my course or in my own time, it is something I definitely want to achieve in my life.
