Drawing Anna Wintour

This is my third drawing in the series, Fashion Personalities Spring 2011. Yes, the name is certainly endlessly pretentious. Yet, somehow, it does not irk me to the point of changing it.

Anna Wintour in Prada Spring Summer 2011. I loved the print on the look (it consisted of bananas and monkeys) and the detail was amazing. It looked as if a Milanese art student had hand-painted a caricature of what he / she saw in a Zoological book. Which meant, this Milanese art student had made my task of adorning Ms. Wintour's body even more complicated.

I wasn't sure about the shoes, as I always see the same pair of Manolo's on the Wintours feet. The bag is also Prada and the sunglasses are her classic Chanel frames.

Drawing Anna Dello Russo

This is a so called 'quickie' that I drew last night. Obviously, the lack of detail makes it look worse. But let met tell you, I have no patience. I'm working on it. haha.

I love Anna Dello Russo, of Vogue Nippon, and I thought she would look great in the orange Jil Sander look (on Hanne-Gaby) from Spring Summer 2011. The shoes are Versace Spring Summer 2011. I'm not sure if they match, but I couldn't think of any other more appropriate shoe. The hat is a bunch of grapes inspired by Anna's genius cherry head piece.

I don't think this drawing does justice to her, so I am working on another Anna drawing. This time she wears Versus Spring Summer 2011.

Drawing Tavi.

This is my most recent attempt to create a relatively life-like (can a drawing be life-like? I don't know) drawing of blogger Tavi Gevinson.

Well specifically, it was my attempt to manifest the genius of Marc Jacobs Spring 2011 collection on the genius of Tavi Gevinson.

Please ignore the fact that I cannot for the life of me, accurately draw a pattern from a runway photo. I am trying. Believe me. I am trying. Hopefully by the end of the season, I will have at least one accurately drawn pattern that will impress you all.

Please don't ignore the fact that I named the post Drawing Tavi. I felt it needed more than numbers. Did I feel right?

Also, please note that I could not decide on whether black-and-white or colour was a better execution of the idea. Thoughts?

Drawing Two.

This is another Balenciaga look that I sketched earlier this year from an old Balenciaga advertisement that I found on TheFashionSpot.

The gold was my attempt at colour, as stated in the previous post, I was in my rather pretentious and rather ridiculous phase of black-and-white-drawing-is-supreme mode.

Please do not ignore the artful scanning technique I used. It caused a great deal of procrastination. Thoughts?

Drawing One.

This was one of the first fashion drawings I did. Well, one of the first non-doodle fashion drawings.

It is of a Balenciaga Fall 2006 look. No colour, as I was going through my black-and-white-is-supreme phase.

Please ignore how terrible it is. Please do not ignore the mistakes. I'd like to think they add something to the drawing. Please also do not ignore the fact that I am completely new to drawing.

Thank you.
