Fashion Sketches

Drawing from live models with a time limit is sometimes good and sometimes really bad but sometimes really good. I like it because it makes me just draw and think less.

Anything + Everything

Who doesn't love a good dose of imagination?  Yay for bunny ears and this architectural design

Keeping my eye on what is going on

"daydreaming" let's take a trip

Salut! Nous s'appelons Michelle, Coco et Sophie!

So excited these ladies are finished!  Now I want them to jump off the page outfits sewn and finished!

My drawing area sometimes gets crazy when I work on a project... but seriously, this is how I like to work!!

Art is everywhere

 

I bought a book to read and when I ended up hating it, I started sketching in it instead. ha! It turned out to be a fun project.  So now there are random pieces of art in a not so predictable looking sketchbook.

The text ended up being one of my favorite things to play with on the pages 

See Art.

head over feet

I'm not sure if feet or faces are more challenging.

But, oh how i LOVE shoes.  I am lusting after ever bootie this season..... just waiting for the fall season!!  I love the men's walking shoe for ladies.

Looking through rose colored glasses

Since the face is a focal point I wanted to be sure to convey the right mood.

 

 

I discovered that i'm in love with a 6B pencil. 

I love sketching stuff like that.....

I love Mr. Richard Haines. He is a wonderful men's designer that started with perry, calvin and blass (yes, that is how he refers to them). I watched this video and fell in love even more!

You can see more wonderfulness on his blog, which I must admit, I usually look at daily to see some cool NYC style. The way that he describes fashion and his blog is AMAZING. for realz.

Coloring outside the lines

My little drawing area is finally set up and ready to go! No more excuses!

Getting set up today

This is as hip as my drawing corner can get....

So I wanted to experiment with some new and different styles of sketching and this is the first one. Penelope Rolland from Paris, France really inspired with her unique ink and watercolor style.


Here's my interpretation of this look... the ink part was a little tricky for me to get a handle on.


Overall I think she's nice, but next time I want to try to give a little more sassy attitude

WTF Shopbop

Really?!?!?!? So I saw the title for this email "Wartime", and I was expecting military inspired jackets with the slouchy pants combo and possible grunge stud gloriousness. Much to my surprise I clicked and saw this....I must not be hip enough to appreciate this look. Really. Really?!?!?!?!?

This has been Really!?!?!?!?! with Anna. Thank you and have a good Thursday.

For the link to see the rest of the looks check it out, some are better than this one atleast.

Face or no face?

Illustrators each have their own style. Some include detailed facial features and others get all stylized and cartoon crazy. Will continue to explore this topic with future sketches.

You've gotta start somewhere

I want to draw everyday, but I make up silly excuses and I end up empty handed. So now I have a place to put all my daily scribbles! Yay!
