Painting with Watercolors: From Inspiration to Fashion Illustration

I really had a great time doing this. Thanks for sharing with us your tricks and techniques. 

Your use of embellishments makes your final pieces look even more interesting. I love them both!

I really love adding fabric when i can. I think for the black one it was appropriate. Thanks!

your inspiration board has some amazing photos on it!

Such glamourous inspiration Stephanie! I like where this is headed :)

great work!!! love the first one especially- you did an amazing job on the gown. try and make sure you keep your pencil a tiny bit lighter though- especially on the face and hair so it doesn't fight too much with the watercolor later. it looks beautiful though!

Katie, thanks a lot for your comment i'll try to apply your tips in the next sketch this weekend! It means a lot for me that you take the time to comment my sketches!! :)

I really like ALL of these. You did a really excellent job.

spring inspiration in a end of winter gray city...

Wow, those two black dresses near the end are unbelievable!  Great inspiration!

Love those Vera Wang wedding dresses, very very very beautiful dresses!

J'aime vraiment beaucoup la palette et le mood! &lt;3

this is my two favorites, and final illustrations
thanks Katie!!
