Drawing of the Day: Welcoming Summer

I always know summer is in full swing when the tree in my backyard becomes thick with ripe, purple mulberries :P

Drawing of the Day: Toutes les filles sont Folles

All the girls are mad. That's what the tile means, in case you were wondering.
That was also the theme for Kate Spade's whimsical, Parisian-themed 2012 fall collection chock-full of cloche hats, bows, kitten heels, elegant gloves, quirky clutches and polka dots. So of course I had to try my hand at sketching the delectable collection. Here's one outfit; more coming soon!

First, the inspiration...

The beginnings :)

Now, filling in the empty spaces

And the final product :)

Drawing of the Day: Black & White

I decided to do an old-fashioned sketch post today, one that's simply pure drawing; no colour to fill in the empty spaces.

Drawing of the Day: White Collar Kiss

Inspired by Louis Vuitton, the pastel trend and the South African band White Collar Kiss :P

Drawing of the Day: Modern Marilyn

The sketch was obviously *inspired* by Marilyn Monroe but represents the modern day working girl at the same time. This girl is exotic and beautiful but also more practical, professional and headstrong. And the bag represents the increased freedom *of speech, expression, equality, voting rights etc* that women have gained over the years.

 

I think every girl needs a perfect balance of sheer strength and delicate femininity in her. I learnt that from Make It or Break It lol :P

Which is a VERY good show by the way

Drawing of the Day: Girl in the Window

First try at a portrait...yikes.
But I think it turned out okay :)

And I just have to throw in a song :)

Drawing of the Day: Looking Back

I think that now that I think about it, this sketch reminds me of Elizabeth Taylor ;)

Drawing of the Day: Superficially Yellow

The title comes from the bright yellow skirt and of course, Superficial Girl in all her glory :)
