Outfit Illustrations

I am a massive fan of fashion illustration and it has come on leaps and bounds in the last few years as more and more young artists are finding how fun it is! I have followed a few fashion illustrators for a while and love their daily outfit illustrations: the perfect way to practice drawing and create beautiful images to share. Nancy. Z is my fashion illustrator obsession at the moment - check out her wonderful drawings here http://www.xiaoxizhang.com/

Now...i love clothes. My problem is i have very limited funds and cannot sew, nor do i really want to learn ( Okay, i have the odd moment where i think its a fantastic idea, but then i remember all the other things i need to learn and it goes back to number 7 on the list - sorry sewing! ). So..instead of drawing MY daily outfits, i will be using this site instead! Chictopia !

It's perfect for what i would like to do, there's a vast range of different styles, looks and girls! Yesterday i drew two love and very different outfits.

I found it works as a great warm up exercise before i start the portraits!

On a side note: I've been updating my etsy shop again! Prints are available for the raspberry truffle cake thats pictured at the top of this post!

  1. Hi Laura! Oh my word, this drawing is so beautiful! And no, I don't mind at all that you used my photo, and linking to my Chictopia works great! Gahhh, you are such a talented artist! Do you mind if I share your drawing of my outfit on my blog? Would it be at all possible for you to email me just the drawing? Seriously, seeing this made my day! ♥
