MAKIN' YOUR HEAD WORK,

(click for larger images)

yay! i have FINALLY done another sketch(es) since forever. this time i was inspired by flouncy appliques and bright primary colors. i used a lighter version of cobalt blue and some vibrant yellow for these 3 pieces. the first piece is a yellow asymmetrical dress with the appliques that are the base of this mini-series. the appliques cascade down from the left shoulder down to the high waist, and circle all the way to the back, as you can see in the small side drawing. the blue mini cocktail dress also plays with the applique idea. i drew a sweetheart neckline in the darkest shade of cobalt, then added the texture and volume in the skirt of the piece, and finally drew everything together and calmed it down with a lighter shade of the color to close the skirt. my final sketch is also an asymmetrical off-the-shoulder top, accompanied by the same playful yet straight edged appliques this time going all the way down across the waist. there is a side of the skirt of the dress that also has a little triangle of these appliques.

+++my outfit for today:

i was snooping in my mother's closet and found this: a dark hunter-ish/forest green teeshirt dress. I ADORE IT. the color of it seems to have washed out, and i like how when i rolled up the sleeves, the original dark hue contrasted with the light outer color. it also has a pocket, hooray for pockets! i paired it with sheer black tights, a DIY black blossom bracelet that i will get a focused picture on next post (remind me!), and a black belt, and perhaps my moto jacket from H&M. such a comfy and casual chic outfit.

+++what do you think of my sketches?

i love feedback !
