Working on a series of drawings for a client.
They’re all based on Equestrian themes and fall colors. More to come




This is a drawing of Gala Gonzalez.
I love her whole attitude. And particularly her leather jacket and Mulberry bag.
The original photograph can be found on her blog Inside Am-Lul’s Closet.

Gala Gonzalez

Maria, from Copenhagen Street Style.

I love how she rolled her long knit sweater’s cuffs over her trench’s sleeves. In the photograph, her monochrome outfit has great texture and the folds of the fabric fall beautifully. It’s been several years but I am still a huge fan of pixie, lace-up, and granny boots. Unfortunately, accurately rendering hers would have killed all the detail in the laces.

I am starting a new series of drawings and paintings based on people from my favorite street style blogs. The whole process has been a bit confusing because I am not sure if I should devote a whole blog to this series and get a new url or just include it here.

I also haven’t decided:
1. Which medium to use (pen or pencil)
2. Should the people should be drawn realistically or as cartoons?
3. Should my drawings be wearing the exact same colors as the photograph or do I take artistic license?
4. Should I color them in digitally or with watercolor or vary it?

What do you think?

This cute girl I’ve had saved on my computer for months. I love her lil romper and long long legs. I drew her with pencil and colored it in with gouache. Based on this photograph from facehunter
