Peindre à l'aquarelle : de l'inspiration à l'illustration de mode

The amount of detail is incredible!

These illustrations are beautiful...and I would wear nearly every piece of clothing! The first one is almost like a cross between a peacock and astronomy. And the one with red and white stripes reminds me of a Tim Burton film :) Well done!

Your work is really awesome!  I really like your first embellished peices and the details in your later work.  Thank you.

Thank you Marianne! I like yours too. I especially like the way you shaded the skin.

So impressed by your artwork! The fourth drawing from the top is so beautiful and real.

Thanks so much for your nice comment!

It's hard to pick my favourite dress. I love the dresses for kids, marvelous! Great work!

Wow. Love so  many of these. Very professional looking and beautiful.

It's so hard to pick my favorite!  Great work!  I do really love the runway shot with several models :-)  That would be so pretty framed and hung in an office.

Hi Cheri, I love your illustrations, they are so beautiful. Just wondering how do you post your illustrations. Do you scan them? If so what do you use?

Hi Rania, Thanks, I think yours are beautiful too:) I usually scan mine and then pull them into photoshop to clean up the backgrounds if I have time. Otherwise, in a hurry I just snap a photo.

Thanks. What kind of scanner do you use?

these are stunning! your progress is amazing!

Thanks for looking and thanks for your feedback Katie!

Really nice colors! Love your Valentino :)

Wow,the blue skirt it's incredible! I like the pose,shadows on the folds.. Love your ladies so much! I always hates tom's but started loving with your sparkle illustration... So,I love your art,keep on it,cherie, Anna.

Thanks Anna. I appreciate you feedback and love looking at your ladies, your work is inspiring!

Beautiful work! My favorites are the back view of model with bun and wearing shimmery backless dress and the 1st one =) Thanks for commenting on my project ^_^

Wonderful! I like them all, but really love the blue dress with big bow and tiny frills!!

Wow! I really like your style. Especially liked the illustration of the knee length dress with open back, just beautiful.

I absolutely love your work, especially the latest one! The folds and attention to detail is stunning.

Beautiful illustrations! Thanks for sharing your progress in the class. Very inspiring :)

You nailed it!!! They're so awesome. I hope to be as free as you ladies one day. You're all my shero's

YOUR drawings are beautiful! Everything about them. The one thing, because your drawings are so very beautiful, articulation, attitude... everything... the hands. Your hands could use the same attention to detail. In some of them the hands don't look as well developed as all the rest. AND consistently, you are an excellent drawer! NO Doubt! Just the hands.

Thanks for your feedback. I really appreciate it and I'm going to try to do what you suggest and work on hands:)

Looks amazing! You should be so proud x

Your progress is one of the more dramatic expressed in this class.  I love your inspirations, sketches and watercolor.  The final projects are inspiring.

These are beautiful! I really liked that you posted your progress, it helped me see what you changed which is helpful for the future (for me). I especially love the dress with the big cutout in the back. I think the pose you chose there is perfect for the dress and you captured it beautifully. 

thanks for posting each step of your process- so wonderful to see!! they turned out beautifully!!! 

Wow, your finished products look so amazing! I am super impressed.

OMG!!! I love your illustrations!!! I want feedback from people like you!! (who know what they're doing!!) Please check out my illustrations!!

wow!! amazing...love everything from start to finish!! :)

Wow~ that is so beautiful, love love love.

Wow. I love how everything turned out. My favorite is the one where the models are all lined up. And i love how dynamic the poses are! Great job!

Love seeing your progression. You have worked so hard on this class and it shows. Your final illustrations are wonderful. I've liked all of the iterations of your drawings - thank you so much for sharing them! This kind of thing is what I'm truly loving about this class. Well done!

Thanks Kelly! I know what you mean about this class I've been loving it too. It's been fun to see everyone's illustrations and have someone to share mine with. I've enjoyed yours, especially love the sweet look of the faces:)

Wow, Wow! These are incredible! Love them. I hope you draw for a living!

Thanks Mary! You just made my day with your comment, I'm glad you enjoyed them, I enjoyed creating them:)

Thanks Andrea! I still need to embellish a few of them...

I just saw the one with the models in a row!!! Beautiful &lt;3

I really love them!!! They're so simple, but not simple enough to make you just look and keep going. I had to stare. Which is a really good thing. :)

awwww thanks so much for your comment:)
I'm glad you enjoyed them...

Wow ~ I love the finish look, so so so pretty : )

Thank you Mei Ling, that is so nice of you to say:) Are you up late painting?

Yes ; ) I finish the new one with watercolor.

I really love how your style has progressed, beautiful and very free. 

thank you!  I'm starting to feel like I'm getting the hang of it... much happier with the newer ones... 

Very impressive. Liked the subtle colors and use of line. Super duper!

your sketching style is fantastic. I love the movement of the figures. your use of color really suits the sketches, too!

Your shading values are spot on!! Beautiful!

Wonderful! Although, I added more detail to mine. I need to loosen it up a bit. Can't wait to see your watercolor!

I like your detailed one- looks good! I like the plain one too though, you could dress that one up with color and glitter like Katie does...

Love seeing how your sketches have evolved! Can't wait to see what you do with watercolor.

Absolutely gorgeous sketches. Nice work!! :)

thanks:) I'm loving your watercolors, both are really pretty. The blue one's my fave - gorgeous...

It can be hard with such big or flowy skirts, but a good way to try and find the weight is to do a body sketch with no clothes. Figure out the direction of the shoulders - bust and waist - hips, find your figures center as it curves down the body, make sure the higher hip is also the higher knee and foot, and most importantly the center of the neck should match to the inner ankle of your standing foot... this is your balance line. hope that helps. 

This is so helpful, thank you. I see what you're saying. Your tips will hopefully help with the balance. If you have anything else to offer I'd be so happy to hear :) 

Lydia, please let me know when you post yours, I haven't seen them yet...

the long runway one is really neat! thanks for showing all your processes I really like them!! My fav so far is # 4 :)!!!

Wow I just love the sketch of the line up on the runway! it's beautiful! 

Wow ~ amazing work and great sketches o(^?^)o

I love the second round of sketches! They look looser and flowy. and even tho the third round are amazing They look like like you're starting to tighten up again. 

I think you are right, thanks for pointing that out... Katie makes it look so simple:)

love 9, 10,11 and 12 : ) keep going back to look at them.

Thanks for checking them out, I'm still thinking about yours, they look so pretty and simple. Will be fun to see them painted.

I'm so glad you didn't let the pink head-wrap one go. Your re-work of it looks fantastic!

It's obvious that your hard work paid off.. The sketches are looking much better and I have to say that my favorite is the one with the ladies in a line on the runway. I hope you'll find the time and do that one with watercolors! 

Beautiful progress!! Love how you updated so many- :). I can already see soooo much improvement. With the layered skirt, maybe try and make the outer parts of the layers straighter- and only curve the underneath part of each layer. Does that make sense? it will help balance it- also focus the weight underneath each layer and not on the outer sides too. Sometimes it's finding the balance between curves and straight lines to create a nice balance. Progress looks amazing though!!! 

Thank you Katie, you're feedback is so so helpful, I see what you're saying. I re-worked it again, I'm liking it more. I tried the pink head wrap one again keeping what you said about straighter lines in mind.

thanks!.. I really appreciate your time, I know you have a ton of them to review

I really like where you are headed. You're sketches show so much movement!

WOW! Great sketches. Love the runway final group walk!...

Love the 'weight' in these sketches. It comes across really well :)

OMG! I can't believe how many you sketched! I especially love the off the shoulder grey outfit. Too cool!

I know I couldn't stop sketching, it was so fun!

Okay...I'm official jealous! Wonderful sketches!

Thanks! I'm jealous of yours, it's beautiful!
Did you draw your profile pic?
I noticed on your blog that you're in AZ. Me too. What city? 

These are great sketches!!  I too love the 2nd one! Fabulous!!!

Wow- you've done so many! Great work!!! I especially love the first one, and second to last sketch. They show more of a sense of line weight. Try and keep your pencil a tiny bit lighter so that it won't overpower the watercolor later on. Also, you have a great sense of detail in these... but I'd almost take it down one notch just to give some room to play with those with the paint. Really look forward to seeing where you take these!

Thanks Katie! I really appreciate your feedback:)

Your sketches are impressive! So detailed, love the second sketch especially. :)

Thanks! I checked out your blog - love it! Can't wait to see your sketches...
