Illustrations

I want my illustration to depict more of a mood than anything else showing the air and interpretation of my collection. Representing naivety, geekiness, refinement, composition and quality of line, of which I sought inspiration from, Steven Boraodway, Stina Pearson, Sandra Suy With my technical drawings showing exact measurements and accuracy.

Steven Broadway: I love the exaggeration of the female figure showing total voluptuousness. The richness of the pearls and jewelry relays a utter indulgence in extravagant living and accessorizing, with the poise being very typically chic. It literally looks like this is how this woman showers, bathing in her own luxurious as-well as water- sheer indulgences. The light shading in the background gives the whole illustration a softness from the black, gold and white.

Sandra Suy- the clarity and line definition is exquisite, with the representation to a female being very realistic rather than cartoon like. The subtle colours used elude delicacy and the sharp rich contrast with the depth of colour and tonal value in the flower, shines out like a becaon of opulence. The soft lines really enhance the femininty of a woman, woth the shaved head leaving an edge.

Stina Pearson- has a far more colourful approach with a less controlled craftsmanship which generates energy. passion and excitement with the diverse and rich colour combinations screaming vibrancy and enthusiasm for life. The sketching quality of the line is precise yet suggestive. This style of illustration is one I really relate to as the passion and excitement radiates through the merging colours and suggestive precision of line.

Angeline Meline- has taken the illustration and placed it into a real environment giving the illustration a realistic element showing the environment of where she belongs. Its a fun yet authentic way of expressing her mood and intentions. The exaggerated body form is both modelesque and complimentary, I like exaggerated forms as it creates a mood and playfulness to the illustration. The clothing obtains a genuine form with exactness in line drawing and quality whilst the hair and face details are suggestive rather than obvious, giving attitude and character to this illustration.

These illustartions are the inital drawing and have been tweaked and chanelled but still need more work doing until they are refined final illustartion. However they look elegant, exaggerated and naiive. The line work is suggestive and representative of the female form, face and clothing. The glasses generate a mood of gekiness. The illustrations are embodying and expressing my collection.
