Shot of Pure Gold

I love pictures of models with extravagant makeup. It becomes such a fun tool to enhance one's personality or turn into a mask. 

The Other Kids

I've finished my first semester of sophomore year!!! Here's one of the quick exercises I did in my drawing class! It's a mix of collage, markers, and colored pencils. 

Les Femmes

Here are 2 of the digital illustrations I did tonight! I used the tablet to color their skin and the base of their hair. Afterwards I manipulated my print designs on the figures. I've gotten better at the tablet! The figures are starting to come together now and the shadows as well as the makeup look more natural now. 

Wish me luck next week! It's crit week and after that WINTER BREAK!! 

Can't Help Myself

Alexander McQueen AW11/12 

 Alexander Wang Aw11/12

Prabal Gurung AW11/12

Here are some ad campaigns that I really like for AW11/12! I love the play of light in the McQueen ad and the movement in the garments in all the shots.

Here's the Lanvin campaign video which I found to be hilarious! Watch to see the ending! I've learned a lot from their dance skills!

Where We Are

Today I did some renderings in photoshop using the Wacom tablet. I think I improved with coloring the skin and the hair. Then I proceeded to fill my figures with the print designs I developed. When I first started using the tablet I was really struggling with it but after using it to render my figures I'm beginning to become comfortable with it. But, yes I still prefer hand drawn and colored figures. I feel that it's more personal since I'm physically illustrating on paper; there's just a more emotional relationship between my hand and the medium. Watch for more and better digital fashion illustrations soon!
