Painting with Watercolors: From Inspiration to Fashion Illustration

wonderful!!! super playful like someone mentioned below. try and loosen up your lines a bit and not be too constricted when you paint :). be free!! love all the different watercolors you did! 

thank you! i am going to try and work some more on my drawing skills for a while. and also want to work on doing more washes of color, vs going for a saturation.

thank you!...i've been having fun just playing around w/ different styles and techniques...

I like your sketches, Jessica!.. Especially the first and third ones.. They reflect the mood board very well.

thanks!  i need to update this w/ my new sketches and watercolors...

love the first sketch! it has a nice flow and great details, looking forward to the watercolor!

thanks... hoping to start on watercolors tonight...

Wow you have such great images! Love the sparkly shoes!!

I think you and I have very similiar styles! What a great collection.

yes...i just looked at your mood board and love what you posted as well!

i love your mood board. it's full of wonderful details, yet still completely cohesive. can't wait to see what you make of it!

mood board --&gt;
i love things that give off an aura of romance. if given the choice i might live in 'pride and prejudice' or 'downton abbey'... but then again i love taking the romantic pieces and mixing them up every now and then with a piece of leather or something with spikes!
these things make me happy and stir up feelings of bliss to me.&nbsp; it's all in the details!
--&gt; sequins - diamonds - glitter - emeralds - ruffles - pearls - bows - lace - roses - magenta - long hair - skirts - updos - dresses - heels
