Ralph Lauren Collection

I am working on an illustration based on a photograph from Dutch Elle (March 2012). I just finished the drawing and will paint it later today.

The model is wearing Ralph Lauren Collection and shoes by Givenchy by Riccardo Tisci.

Some sketches

I am busy with a couple of projects so I probably will  not be adding many new drawings in the weeks to come. I will ofcourse add those projects as soon as they are released. 

I have also entered in The Sketchbook Project 2012 (more info under the link). I will sometimes add some of those sketches to my blog. 

For The Sketchbook I picked the theme "Stitches and Folds".

Work in Progress

Black and white scan. Will add some paints now!

Again two different scans. Which setting do you like best? 1st or 2nd picture?

Karlie Kloss for H&M

Just playing and sketching with markers. They will never be my favourite medium.
Did this quick sketch of the new H&M Fall collection. 

The dreadful Summerweather we are having is making me look at Fall clothing. 

Work in progress - Luisa Beccaria

I must be influenced by seeing Bridesmaids yesterday. So much frill (and dare I say it too much pink! - but great fun!)!!

I am usually not fond of lots of frill and fluff, but I do love this image of a model wearing a Luisa Beccaria dress.

Luisa Beccaria is known for  magnificent dresses. Floaty, feminine and spectacular.

Now I am forever struggling with my scanner. Somehow all the scans never do the drawing or painting justice.
I scanned this sketch two ways...not sure which I do prefer. 

Will add a touch of coloured ink later this morning. 

Karen Elson

Did this sketch of Karen Elson in Grapithe.
Work in progress. Will finish it later this week. 

Florence and the Machine

Work in progress. Started this yesterday. And I hope to find time to paint it this evening. This calls for gold and glitters.

Quite like this bold scan of the sketch.

Work in progress

Did this sketch. Will start painting today or tomorrow. Depending how my other projects fare today. 

This image is of Alejandra Alonso by Mariano Vivanco (love his work!) for Vogue Russia May 2011.

So here is the black and white sketch:

Parents

This morning I did this sketch of my mother and my stepfather.

My mother looks bigger because she is closer in the picture.
I hope they like it.

Nathalee

I just drew this image of a friend of mine on canvas.
Nathalee if you like it, it is yours. I will take it with me to your Halloween party. If you don't like it, you can be honest. No worries.

Birthday

Yesterday was my birthday and a friend gave me sketching crayons and new drawing paper. So made this quick sketch whilst baking pie this morning.
Inspired by Marc Jacobs New York Fashion week show.

Watercolours in the sun

I did these two weeks ago in my mother's backyard. Sitting outside in the sun.

And this one was inspired by a flower in my mother's garden.

May 2010

Uploading some sketches I did last May:

Lanvin

From the Lanvin Spring/Summer 2010 line.
The colour should  be coral. Need to do some Photoshopping. I blame all the orange of the World Cup Football. Orange is the Dutch colour. So seen enough of that colour to last me a long time.

Bottega Veneta

A sketch of a Fall 2010 creation by Bottega Veneta.
A red leather top and red skirt. I love the return of red this Fall.

Outfit by Roparosa

Love the power shoulders!

first post

This is my first post.
So just testing.
This is one of my latest sketches. Pencil and marker.
A great red coat by Lanvin. Love it!
