Ohh Dear

INSTA INSPO

I really like the effect of the white and black reversed here! I never usually think to do this. 

The frame makes the sketch look like a finished illustration. I really need to think about frame in forming the illustration.

I like how this illustrator has used water colour and then drawn in pen over the top, it adds some depth and interest to the image- who's hands are they? 

I think the expression in the above image makes the audience feel sad/awkward/uncomfortable. The line work reinforces this. I need to think about mood and how everything can enforce it. 

I absolutely love the way she has used watercolour/ink to add colour it just looks so beautiful and delicate but also the cheeks look really strong and powerful. 

I just really love indian and other prints and materials. Their details are amazing and they all are so different. The colours are always so diverse and reflect the passion of the culture. 

I really need to start using ink more in my work. I have been meaning to create some fashion illustrations and when I saw the above work it motivates me more to have a go myself. I think she has used ink to create the black and then dropped bleach over the top of it to create the interesting gold effect.
