Fashionista Sketches

"Fashionista Sketches"
Examples done for a fashion illustration position that turned out to be already filled. The style was very sketchy and loose, so I made a custom brush in Photoshop to give it a marker or pastel feel. The poses were taken from reference, but the outfits are of my own creation. Took less than an hour for both.

Siamese and Coffee

"Siamese and Coffee"
Picture done entirely in Corel Painter. Used the various chalk tools to get the basic colors down, then heavily used the grainy blender tools to make the fur. Also used dodge and burn here and there. Named "coffee" because the colors in the background remind me of mocha.

Time taken: Less than 5 hours



Details:

Nikolai the Betta

"Nikolai the Betta"
Sort of a color theory experiment, drawing of my betta, Nikolai. Made a photoshop brush for the scales. The background is simplified to bring attention to the details of the fish.


Time taken: about four hours.

Starsky Cityscape

"Starsky Cityscape"
A bit of an experiment for me, to see what I could do in a different style of a subject I don't usually draw. More sci-fi than fantasy, I'd say. The background sky is a photomanip, the rest is drawn. Done in Photoshop.

Time taken: Less than two hours.

Daisy

"Daisy"
Just a simple daisy done in Painter. Vine charcoal tool, with blending. Ink pen tool for the details.

Time taken: About 5 hours

Fae Medusa

"Fae Medusa"

Sketched on paper, then scanned in, inked and colored in Photoshop. For the scales, I made a new brush and played around with filters.

Time taken: About 6 hours
