As Coco Chanel once said "Elegance is not the prerogative of those who have just escaped from adolescence, but of those who have already taken possession of their future." My fashion illustrations are interpretation of high end couture full of vibrant colors and rich textures.The demographic for my illustrations are geared for people that consider fashion as a form of art. I believe my illustrations have charisma and a modern edge. I'm extremely passionate about my work.
My process starts in my sketchbook collecting inspiration with imagery from Fashion Weeks from around the world, random Instagram photos, and sophisticated textures. Initial thumbnails help develop tight sketches in which I use pencil to execute. After completing the tight sketch, I go ahead with markers and color block the illustration. Continue by scanning and polishing my illustrations digitally incorporating the right textures.
Began working on fashion illustrations when taking an adjunct fashion design course at art magnet Design & Architecture Senior High. Looked up to the eccentric lifestyle illustrations of Marcos Chin and the refine sophisticated illustrations of Steven Stippleman. Continued to purse a degree in illustration at Ringling College of Art and Design where I focused on learning techniques and programs like Corel Painter, Adobe Photoshop, and Adobe Illustrator.
