Sketching

After looking at my research and various pictures for inspiration I concluded that in my design I want to incorporate the shape of a swan and black feathers.

To start with I decided to start with sketching some ideas of shapes so I started looking at various sketches and drawings of swans: 

From the pictures I looked at I created an abstract shape that looks like a swan and this was my first step :

Then I re did it neatly and ellabaroted it by trying to incorporate the effects of the black feathers for it to take shape.

This was my final sketch of the shape : 

In some way I would like to incorporate this kind of shape to represent the black swan in my design.
