My Cross Stitch Ring

I've been stuck in the house for 3 days straight now, and boredom has hit me hard. 

However, it's allowed me the chance to be creative again!!

Here's one of the things I did today :)

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.
