fashion illustration of claire on outlander

Much of Outlander’s attention right now is because of its super hot sex scenes with the main couple, Claire and Jamie. But there is just as much to talk about when the characters have their clothes on. Terry Dresbach, the shows costume designer, talks here about eight of her favorite looks on the show. Not surprisingly,Continue reading “fashion illustration of claire on outlander”

illustration of vin from mistborn, at a ball

Vin is a survivor. She is resourceful and smart, overcoming beatings on the street to become a valued member of a thieving crew. Vin is a fighter, no matter if she’s stealing from the rich or dancing among them. There were a lot of things I love, love, loved about Brandon Sanderson’s Mistborn: The Final Empire, the first inContinue reading “illustration of vin from mistborn, at a ball”

weddington way october style challenge

I love talking about weddings. I am definitely the friend to turn to if you want to talk flower arrangements or bridesmaid dresses, or seating charts, or veils, or just about anything else. Maybe because the weddings I have been involved in have all been chill and wonderful, and maybe because I have never beenContinue reading “weddington way october style challenge”

ralph lauren fashion illustration

I love fashion week, even from afar. (It’s not like I went to shows when I was in New York anyway, so the separation’s pretty easy.) Looking at pretty things for inspiration and for fun will never get old for me. This fashion week coincided with roughly the same time I got sick of everythingContinue reading “ralph lauren fashion illustration”

illustration of melody from without a summer

I am working my way backwards through Mary Robinette Kowal’s glamourist histories about one of my favorite literary couples, Jane and Vincent. (I started with the latest book in the series by happenstance, and I’m just going with it.) In Without a Summer (Kindle here), Jane and Vincent travel with Jane’s younger sister Melody to London toContinue reading “illustration of melody from without a summer”

illustration of characters from twin peaks

My final fashion illustration class was this week, and we displayed our final projects. We had to create five different figures, and I based mine off of Twin Peaks. (I’ve talked a little bit before about the great costumes in that show.) It is visually stunning, and using it as inspiration for my drawings allowed meContinue reading “illustration of characters from twin peaks”

fashion illustration class update

It’s getting near the end of my drawing class, but here’s a few of my favorites so far. These drawings are from inspiration I’ve found in magazines or on Pinterest, or from our model in class. My main goal from this class is to better be able to communicate my ideas visually–for fashion and home designContinue reading “fashion illustration class update”

fashion illustration class

I am taking a drawing class. A fashion illustration class, if you want to be specific. I’m really enjoying it! I feel like drawing is a great way to communicate, especially when I’m thinking of clothes people could wear or rooms they could live in. I’m really excited to get some classes in and practice, practice, practice. WeContinue reading “fashion illustration class”

outfits of jen from S.

I had a lot of fun reading S., the puzzle book by Doug Dorst and J.J. Abrams. There are many stories within S. besides the main text the Ship of Theseus. I was most interested in the story of Jen and Eric, two students (kind of) who picked up the Ship of Theseus and wroteContinue reading “outfits of jen from S.”
