Hidden Talent

So last night I got really bored and didn't know what to do so I got my creative cap on and began sketching some fashion illustrations - which may I note, I had never done before. I watched a few youtube tutorials for inspiration and who knew how much detail actually went into fashion illustrations. 

Since the Oscars have just recently passed, my illustrations were based on dresses and gowns inspired by the Oscars and I surprised myself with how much I enjoyed and got stuck into the drawing.

Here's a picture of just two of my sketches which I'm super proud off! Let me know your thoughts as i'm considering doing this on a weekly basis posting fresh new looks and trends. 

WATCH THIS SPACE!!!!

If you would like to try for yourself some fashion illustrations, take a look at Nick Verreos' video of how to quick sketch for beginners.

I used this as a guideline for my first few attempts and I found it really helped! 

GOOD LUCK MY CHICAS AND CHICO'S xoxoxo

Did someone say Edward Enninful ?!

Working with some of the biggest brand names such as Christian Dior, Mulberry, and Celine along with beauty icons Revlon, M.A.C and Covergirl, Edward Enninful was the youngest ever innovative and creative fashion director to work on an international magazine. This man is inspiring to say the least.

Having only discovered Edward Enninful's editorials and covers in the recent weeks leading up towards Christmas, has given me huge inspiration which I can now bring into 2014 with me.

On the left are some of my favourite Cover's and Editorials that Edward Enninful styled, and if you get a chance take a look at more of his work!
