A Disastrous Mistake

No, she doesn't have a horrible, horrible rash on her shoulders. There was a thing with my marker, then some white china crayon, and then I wanted to put some cute pink on her elbows/shoulders like Danni does, and then it just went kerfluey. So yeah, this is what happens when media experiments go wrong!

Lady in Waiting with Unicorn

Girl with the Green Dress

Japanese fashion girl

The theme over on the GDG blog is Japanese fashion; I based this loosely after a girl I actually saw in Harajuku (in the 100 yen store) dressed up like a lolita strawberry shortcake. Sadly, this drawing does not do her justice, but it'll have to do!

Knight with horse, plus lady

Damon and I were watching "Robin and Marion" (with sean connery and audrey hepburn) and I was in love with all the pretty horses, so I tried to draw one with a knight.  I obviously draw better horses than knights.

And, bonus lady from Vogue Fashion book...

Stylin' like an Italian

I've had to gradually update my clothing to reflect A. the weather, and B. Italian fashion, since apparently Los Angeles fashion is waay too schleppy for Italy!

Another study for a piece...

cool lookin' lady

I got a whole stack of awesome vintage/random photographs at Melrose Trading Post (one of our local flea markets) with a whole assortment of characters this weekend- this is based off of a pretty rocking woman in one of the photos with a huge afro and a blazingly awesome pink dress- I need to do more drawings/studies of her in color... The top one is just a drawing of her, the bottom one I tried to simplify the silhouette of the character more...

One of these days I want to set up an "inspiration blog" with found images/ photos/ just random things that inspire me visually- that'll be a photo I put up on it for sure!

Project Runway characters

Been tuning in to Project Runway this season (finally!) and felt like drawing a few of the characters...

I like Stella's punk style, but depending on how she's edited, I either love her or she annoys me. I do like everything she does, clothes wise, although sometimes she whines a bit much, but overall- rock on girl!  The hammer is for her to work her leather and grommets with...

I love Korto's look- I think I could have pushed this drawing more with her eyes and hair; maybe next time! Think she's a great designer and I usually have her in my top favorite designs, although I think the pressure gets to her sometimes.

I used to like Kenley, but the more I see of her, the more I really don't like her. I love her physical appearance and her personal sense of fashion (love those roses and feathers in her hair!!), but I get the sinking suspicion she's not so pretty on the inside, from the snide comments and catty attitude she has.  Every week turns me more and more off of her!
