Ladiga Baiba and 'September 9 fashion drawing' by myra anderson . . .

I'm showing you this drawing again because it has a bit of color.  Mainly I was working on the drape of the dress and the little fashion boot.

Speaking of color . . . if you are going to be an illustrator you certainly need the tools of the trade.  The photo below is from the book Fashion Design Workshop by Stephanie Corfee.  Her list includes PROFESSIONAL markers, PROFESSIONAL grade colored pencils and so forth.  Well, for the most part - I think that I believe that professional grade is better - more saturation of pigment - easier application?

The artist of this beautiful illustration is Ladiga Baiba.  She certainly demonstrates how you can create a beautiful illustration using markers. . .

Hello dress artists and illustrators!  In this drawing I was working on the 'draping' of the dress.  I love the shoe!   As you can see from the photos below - artwork based on fashion will ALWAYS look great hanging on the wall!  This is the art of fashion illustrator Megan Hess.

Hello dress artists, illustrators and fashion illustrators!  It's been a loooong time since I have posted here.  I have gotten my skill level up just a bit which I am very happy about!  I like the dress, the shoe and that little bit of collage too!  You know, even in this age of photography 'they' say that magazine illustration is coming back in a big way.  People absolutely LOVE fashion illustrations - so I wish that this was true!   Thank goodness there will ALWAYS be a need for beautiful artwork based on fashion!

'second opinion' myra and edward martinez . . .

Ahhhhh!  The dress as art.  Here are two sketches that I did as I pondered that thought.  Of course - many illustrators and fashion designers have drawn or painted beautiful dresses .  And many artists have incorporated beautiful dresses into their figurative work.  The painting below by Edward Martinez is entitled 'Second Opinion'.  I love the way he was able to incorporate the design element into the skirt.  Something that as of yet I am not able to do.
