Flip Repeat Images

I've been working a little more on the doodle images I created previously.  I scanned the drawings and flip repeated them in Photoshop to create the images above.  I love these, they look really surreal!

Floral Eyes Illustration

Another of my latest fashion beauty illustrations.  This one was created by drawing a basic line image on to tracing paper.  The hair was filled in with single lines to create waves.  Flower images were then cut out and mounted on to the eyes.  The whole image was then mounted on top of some patterned black and white floral paper.

Latest Fashion Beauty Illustrations

 I said I was going to try more of those doodle-style beauty illustrations...and indeed I have!  I've got to say I'm totally loving these!  I love the monochrome with just the slight touch of colour, and I love all of the patterns in the hair.  I feel like I just want to draw a whole book of these!  They're really fun to do aswell, and very relaxing.  Love, love, love!

I also added to the one I drew before (below), as I felt that it just needed that extra little something.  So I added just a little bit more to the hair on the one side, and I added extra to the eyes.  I think that this has improved it, because it just looks that bit more whacky now.

Art Deco/Nouveau Beauty Illustration

This is my latest fashion image, inspired by art deco/nouveau.  I drew the image by hand first and then added the colour in Photoshop after scanning my original drawing. 

I love the boldness of this image, with the strong colours, and I'm majorly in to the whole roaring 20's trend at the mo! 

Doodly Hair Beauty Illustration

Here's another drawing that I've done recently in prep for the upcoming fashion illustration project.  Another really easy one to do!  I've kind of based it on Noumeda Carbone's style of illustration with the doodle aspect.  It's also more eye-catching to keep it mostly black and white, with just a hint of color. 

I'm going to work on some more illusrations in this style.  I think I need to be a little looser with the doodle aspect and possibly a bit crazier!!

Loving the New Collage Fashion Images

 So I've been doing some more experiments for the Fashion Illustration project, and today I've created these two images, collaged together using fashion adverts from old Vogue magazines.

I'm really loving this!!!  They do look a bit freaky I'll admit, but they're incredibly eye-popping and quirky, and above all, ridiculously easy to do!!!

I'm going to be kicking off my fashion course taster session's in July with this task, and am really excited about it.

Crazy Heads & Fashion Illustration do mix!

I've been writing a new assignment for my school learners, and this coming academic year I quite fancied doing a project on fashion illustration.  Sssooooo, I've been having a little doodle myself in order to come up with some interesting tasks to set the learners, and I've come up with these! 

I saw a window display in a high street fashion store, I can't quite remember which one it was, but the mannequins had pictures of deer heads stuck on top of them and I thought it looked crazily kinda cool.  So this (top left) is my take on that shop window in the form of a fashion illustration.  I actually really like the use of the oversized animal heads, it makes the illustration really quirky and captures the attention.

I also tried the same technique using large doll heads instead of animals (below left).   I love this too, and even though it's probab;y slightly less strange than the animal heads, I still think its really quirky. 

These are actually really easy to do, and I've begun to draw up templates for my school learners to use, and I'll be piloting this task in September.
