Painting with Watercolors: From Inspiration to Fashion Illustration

love the first one- it's absolutely fantastic!!!! you really brought her to life through the process! 

Here's a link to the hand guide that was posted up somewhere in the discussion topics: http://pinterest.com/BrownPaperBunny/art-and-illustration/

I love your inspiration shots! Can't wait to see your sketch with color.

Can't wait to see your watercolor! {Nice Chanel necklace, by the way!}

Hi Julie, thanks for the feedback. I just checked out your sketch and it looks like you know what your doing. I love edgy as well. Can't do as well as you! I am looking forward to seeing it in watercolor.

beautiful!!! love the pose- so risky of you! but you did it so nicely. one thing i might add is that you could loosen up your lines a bit- make it less of an outlined drawing- and vary the light weight just a little bit more. Try not to go over lines you make more than once at a time- when you do that it creates thick lines that look like you used a dull tip pencil and couldn't get a sharp confident line. do you know what i mean? it's hard to explain in words! main thing to take away, just vary your line weight and be looser with your pencil. overall it looks so great though! can't wait to see your watercolor :) 

Thanks! Yeah, I was working on another one and it felt too much of an outline. I totally understand what you mean about going over the line more than once and to be looser with the pencil. Thanks for the tips!

Ooh! So rockstar! Can't wait to see your illustrations Julie ;)

Thanks! Looking forward to seeing yours too. I see you are taking a Lettering class. Gosh, that looks really cool! I just might sign up for that.

Hi Julie, yes taking that lettering class on Skillshare too. It starts this month ;) If you join, we'll be classmates again! That class should be great too, just like Katie's class.
