Painting with Watercolors: From Inspiration to Fashion Illustration

oh i really like all the little extra bits you add into your illustration to make it your own!

Thank you Jessica I was afraid people wouldn't like that

:D thank you Mei! everyone is doing really good 

I like the little girl! And "glitter is not my friend" - you crack me up!

:) Thank you, Rachel really appreciate it

love love love!! everything about your style from sketching to painting is so instinctive.

Thank you so much...I am flattered but your work is also beautiful

Aw Thanku! How nice of you to say : ) I love your new one too - which watercolours are you using? That pink is amazing! 

I have really inexpensive water colors......they come in dry cake form in a plastic pan, I like it because its very portable

You have such an interesting style! It's unique and beautiful :)

Thank you I really appreciate your comments

Wow! I'm amazed by the whimsy and details of the sketches! Love it!

:D I am glad you find them interesting, Thank you

Really like the polkadots! I love how she looks like a doll. So interesting!!

Yeah I tend to do that when drawing girls.....I just can't help it but thank you :)

beautiful! as i said on instagram- love your style. very cool to do something unique with the nose. your watercolor is adorable too- nice work on the polkadots. watch your proportions a tiny bit though- the shoulders look a but wide. looks so good though! 

Yes that was bothering me too, I could always redo it but maybe if I found a way using watercolors to hide it more

I love your style! Its so fun.  Really like the polka dotted lady!

haha thanks for the compliment.  I have spent quite a while working on my style and so far I like it

Love your sketches!!! Really nice style. they will look so good with watercolour : )

Hey guys,&nbsp;
My inspiration comes from the 1960s mod fashion where anything goes kind of fashion. I really like muted colors with big bright pops of color, patterns, and layered looks.&nbsp;
Retro is cool.

In this sketch I focused more on the lines....it is a litlle more on the artistic side, I mean it is kids clothing so it has to be fun....I just wish that I had a better scanner, the colors are brighter on the paper.....well enjoy guys :)
