Sketch... Jason Wu F/W 2013 RTW

Meow there, Monday!  The fall-winter 2013 season fashion shows have begun recently.  And I've been doing sketches on some outfits I really like.  Starting it off with Jason Wu...



A beautiful collection... Love the subtle, little design details!

Sketch... Pink Valentine

Happy Valentine's Day!  Something sexy, a little coy, a touch of flirtation but not overly so...  a tease...

Sketch... Pink Lavender Hair

Meow there!  Happy Lunar New Year to all!


This sketch is inspired by Blythe Dolls, those really cute dolls with big heads and big,big, big eyes.  Thought I'd do my sketch with funky, anime-style haircolor...  Still practising on drawing hair!    

Used watercolor for base color, then watercolor pencils (with wash).
And finished it off with sign pens...

Trying out chalk pastels... a fail it is!  
Need more practise on pastels as well!

Illustration... Wavy Hair, re "do"

Did another 2 versions of the wavy hair sketch, but with a slightly different angle.  I love doing hair sketches!  I'm not really good at it, still practising, but I love sketching those flowy, wavy hairstyles!   I was actually trying to recreate this style I did years ago.  Tried different variations on the materials, and somewhat failed on both.  The only thing I liked on these two is the hair... just a bit.  And the practice continues!  By the way, this is my 100th blogpost!  Yay!  =^.^=

This is the first version.   
Started with graphite shading, but overdid it a bit.  
Also used watercolor, chalk pastels and watercolor pencils.

The 2nd version.  Didn't do any graphite shading here.  

Work-in-progress for the 2nd version.  
Watercolor wash (base), chalk pastel for the skin/hair and graphite lines for the features.
Forgot to take wip pics for the 1st version.
