Worked on this piece this morning. Combination of charcoal, graphite, gouache & watercolor.

French Ball Gown
Again, completely inspired by an illustration I saw on paperfashion.net. After I sketched it, I stamped on it with a French script rubber stamp and a small floral stamp. I painted it with a combination of gouache & regular watercolor. Didn't quite get the glove right, but I was happy with the dress. It's a trial and error kind of thing.

black ball gown
I took my inspiration from here. I used gouache, watercolor, fine ebony glitter, black sequins and rhinestones. I drew the image with a combination of 6b graphite and medium charcoal.

Fashion Illustration: black and gold ball gown
My inspiration can be found here. Please pardon my less than white paper. Scanning it doesn't do the dress justice and taking photos of this piece is quite challenging. I assure you that the actual paper is white.
This was my initial sketch.
This was my first addition of paint and skin tone. The paint is lamp black and raw umber. The skintone was achieved with a caramel shade of ink.
I have accented this dress with QOR metallic gold paint by Golden. It is absolutely amazing.
Skirt detail.

New Unity Stamp: Whitney Girl
Just love this stamp by artist extraordinaire Angie Blom. I stamped with Distress Pumice Stone ink. I used various watercolors and markers. Went over the image with graphite to give it more of a sketched look.
