Painting with Watercolors: From Inspiration to Fashion Illustration

I love your sketch of the striped one. I put that one on my inspiration board too, but didn't sketch it. You did a really good job with it. I love the last one too.... and I like how you did the faces...

The red Valentino is AH-mazing. Gorgeous gown. Can't wait to see your illustrations!

Isn't it insane? I can't imagine having the opportunity to wear something that stunning. 

I love the clean lines, negative space and strong shape black + white creates, and a pop of color just makes things interesting.

As a photo editor for PeopleStyleWatch.com, I'm inundated with images of stars in striking gowns. Below are a few I hope to see on the red carpet soon.
