ILLUSTRATION: The Dutchess of Sussex

Watched the most awaited event of 2018 and I was in awe! 

This was actually my first time watching a royal wedding and I was not disappointed; it was grand, elegant, luxurious and so much more! The most anticipated aspect of the wedding was obviously the dress and upon revelation, I really liked it. The dress itself was a creation of Clare Waight Keller (a brit herself), who's currently the fashion director of Givenchy. The gown, although simple, suited the now Dutchess to a tee. It was a plain off-the shoulder floor-length gown, minimal, elegant and very modest.

Then came the second dress that stunned, and there was no two ways about it. This gown came from wedding guest and British designer Stella McCartney and was a sleeveless halterneck that flared from the knee downwards. Do you guys have a preference between the two? What did you guys think of the dresses?

Above is my illustration of the Dutchess, I just could not help but. I adored the makeup, veil, jewellery and dresses so I had to do my version. As all of my recent illustrations, this one was a mixture of pencil and digital. It was one of the most challenging so far as it was one of the cleanest, most simplistic look I have ever tried to replicate.

I found a fantastic article on GoodHousekeeping on 10 facts about the wedding outfit. I didn't want to pinch them so give it a click and a read, some'll definitely surprise you.

ILLUSTRATION: Kaia Gerber

It's not much of a surprise now is it? I think it's becoming clear that the format of my blog is to: A) post about something I'm obsessing over and B) to draw it. Hence, illustration beneath...

 Just thought I'd share my newest illustrations with you guys...

So I recently discovered a new designer through the muddle of Instagram. Through this discovery I also found a fantastic jewellery designer and a model I was unfamiliar with - all from one picture! ... aah the joys of Insta..

Anyway I haven't been able to shake this picture out of my head; I knew I needed to buy the earrings or illustrate the picture. Needless to say, I opted for the latter...

ILLUSTRATION: Fendi Autumn/Winter 2017

Was so inspired by the collection from Fendi (see post) that I decided to illustrate one of my favourite looks from it. This look stood out to me because of the mixture of textures and combination of black fabrics. I adore the details as well as the silhouette, and the overall styling of this outfit is so subtle, wearable and chic.

This illustration enabled me to experiment with creating different textures. Obviously with the use of Adobe Photoshop, I was able to achieve this look, however, this year my aim is to strengthen my Adobe skills. We'll see how it goes...

ILLUSTRATION: Something From Nothing

After a gruelling four years of blood, sweat and tears (literally), it seems almost unnatural to have a free minute to myself. So post university, it does get a tad boring. And as a recent fashion student, this unprecedented change is more than a little hard to adapt to.
So yeh...

I present to you a mish-mash of neon tribal-y sketchy fashion men. I named it myself.

Enjoy.

ILLUSTRATION: Sam Chapman. Revised.

Post uni, I finally had some long overdue time to myself...which is a strange concept now thinking about it. Whilst I still had time to draw during my final year (-and created some fashion illustrations I still consider my best work), it's, for me, being able to differentiate between drawing for yourself as a hobby and a drawing that's considered work. The difference, being the pressure of producing something worthwhile, representative of a theme/season/idea, and time constraints, which is never the case when it's a hobby.

So my muse: Samantha Chapman. No there's not really some deep, meaningful intent behind this artwork. I just enjoy her Youtube videos, her carefree, artistic style and frankly, her devil-may-care attitude when it comes to - I quote- 'slagging off' things she simply doesn't agree with.
