I love Fridays!!

I love Fridays!! It`s the only day of the week when I can count on all of our family to be together the following day. As much as I love my job, spending time with my family is something I look forward to on the weekends.

I have really been drilling myself when it comes to drawing fashion illustrations.
I love sketching, but after almost 5 years of drawing on a computer, I realized how much I rely on the undo button. So, every night before I go to bed, I sketch.

I have to say I love my rough croquis more than my computer sketches. Although I hate the charcoal mess, they are probably the most fun. My Wacom tablet has been quite a companion. But for anyone who really wants to know how to draw on a pc, you need to start on paper.

The trial and error process is so crucial, because you are able to see starting point and if there is any measurable improvement. So many programs are made to behave as real pencil on paper, if you have something funky happen on the program, you must have likely experienced it on paper.
Enjoy!
Love,

Fashionable Web Design

It goes without saying that the fashion and beauty industry is booming. More and more web sites and blogs in those areas are launched and marketed to the public.
I often download the color prognostications and look up where the fashion trends are headed, as much of what is designed by fashion designers becomes the norm for everything else.
I have always loved vintage illustrations of French models and I derive a lot of my inspiration from them. As I mesh the style from my collection to my latest fashion trend research, a new style is born. Haute couture fashion illustrations.
Whether you are in the industry, or just have a highly fashionable site, these illustrations are iconic. They quickly brand you and because of their uniqueness, they can be used as a logo.
