Painting with Watercolors: From Inspiration to Fashion Illustration

i enjoy the different textures and expirementing!

the embroidery is so so cool! what a fabulous idea! love that you are playing with different mediums :) 

I love that you put her on wood! That was a genius substitute for the sand, and looks great.

nice! I like the pose of the first one... like your faces and hair too:)

Wonderful work- and so many! :) These are great- just keep in mind that you should be loose with your pencil... try not to define with outlines too much. For example, the last sketch on her skirt... instead of outlining it try and vary the line weight. Keep the fabric fold lines on the inside of the skirt lighter than the outer lines... that will give it more of a real feel to it. Also- accentuate the waists more in your drawings-- it will add drama! Hope that helps. 

Thanks so much for your help I did some new sketches and then turned them into watercolours.

Lovely collection. The blue dress will be incredible illustrated. Looking forward to your illustrations. :)

I also thought it'd be fun to try a more editorial one and experimented with wood.

WATERCOLOURS ADDED
These are my inspiration images ranging estabished designers like Valentio and Michael Kors to emarging Australian designer Jamie Lee.
It is a mix of Romatic sillohettes to theatrical to a twist of rebelion
