Nothing says style to me than a great scarf wrapped well. That’s why I love drawing/sketching/painting scarves in my images. I may be just getting my feet wet again in the art and sketch world, but I can feel the familiar pull of my own style and preferences dictate what I draw.

Favorite part of the entire image… that beautiful blue scarf in all its lovely hues. Find me one of those somewhere!

Today’s drawing: watercolor pencils, watercolor crayons, 300g watercolor paper, paintbrush, PS6. Originally sketched and colored by hand. Imported to Photoshop to add canvas texture and painted highlights and lowlights.

I may not be a fashionista in real life, but I play one on Pinterest and in my sketch pads. I love fashion sketches… almost more than any other. I don’t know if it’s the design, the color, the art or the fashion… or that it all plays out into a delectable array of beauty and design.

Whatever it is, I was delighted to come across the new color for Spring 2013. It’s a color palette that seems practical, yet whimsical. While I may not upgrade my entire wardrobe to reflect these colors, you will surely see them in some of my new sketches!

Which color and outfit is your favorite?
