Illustrations Part II

You've seen my versions of Laura Laine and Anna Kiper previously, now to be continued.

Cecilia Carsltedt (Who I am LOVING right now, her work is elegant and feminine yet in a really unusual way! I certainly plan on learning more about her and I highly recommend anyone and everyone should do the same because she is truly beautiful talent!)

Lucy Macleod. Another fabulous illustrator with quite a quirk to her, I'm not her biggest fan but I do really like a lot of her work but it's just a little too haunting for me in some areas, AND THAT'S SAYING SOMETHING! But she again is someone that if you haven't already found her you should get scouting as it's truly worth the effort once you have.


 Simple Media techniques used in this drawing, Water colour and crayon for the lips, a 2B pencil for the line details and then for the left side of the face (as you look at it) it's simple just fine liner which is lightly watered over to create slight shading in areas required. The original image by Carlstedt is of Lily Donaldson, British Supermodel at London Fashion Week.


My copy of Macleod's work doesn't do her justice I would just like to point out. Side profiles are clearly not one of my greatest talents as we learnt from my Illustration board! I did try my hardest to create a near enough resemblance to the models character etc but it just did not seem to work out as well as I hoped. I do however really like how her eye and hair turned out. So two out of many features isn't so bad, not brilliant but not bad either!
If I was to do this one again I would probably attempt it on a smaller scale with different media such as fine liner or even CAD drawing as due to fine line and the issues I have with facial proportions I reckon using something like CAD would work out slightly better.
