ILLUSTRATION STYLE
WATERCOLOR FASHION ILLUSTRATION
Fall/Winter 2012-2013
Welcome to the very first Wednesday post on
Ooh La Frou Frou!
If you missed Monday's announcement post,
there will now be THREE weekly posts,
Monday, Wednesday and Friday.
Yay!
I mentioned last week that since I have several illustration styles,
I thought it would be fun to occasionally have a
post series called "Illustration Style"
and introduce you to one of the new illustrations
created in one of my styles.
Do you know what I love?:
I LOVE WATERCOLOR.
It's the medium that I usually use for my fashion illustrations.
It's fluid and dreamy.
In a fantasy world, I could just splash around in it!
You know what else is fluid and dreamy?
Not to mention very sparkly?
Elie Saab Haute Couture.
It's easy to imagine wafting along a runway
in a sparkling Elie Saab gown,
the feel of the fabric swirling and moving against our legs
as the flash of photographers' cameras follow our every move ...
I created the above illustration of
backstage with Elie Saab
to use as a watercolor portfolio sample on the
new upcoming website.
Can you almost feel the glitter?
Elie Saab himself is barely visible
at the head of the line of the models that are
dressed in his magic.
Watercolor was used in these fashion illustrations of mine, as well:
I have a serious style of fashion illustrations,
as in the fashion illustrations above,
and I also have a very whimsical style,
as in the Summer Girl illustration below.
I love both moods of illustration ...
and I wouldn't want to choose just one version ...
variety is such a good thing,
don't you think?
Thanks so much for joining me
for a little Wednesday illustration fun, everybody ...
be sure to drop by on Friday
when I'll send you off into the weekend
with a little glittery inspiration
pulled from my Pinterest world ...
such an appropriate send-off for a weekend,
don't you think?

Sandy, I just loved what you did with the Elie Saab illustration. Those couture collections are by far some of my favorite. They can do no wrong. Great post! Nice to see you post more often. :)
