I've been completely absent from blogging and pretty poor with illustrating on a regular basis since moving to London in January. 

London life is extremely hectic, but also very inspiring as a creative. Anyway, my plan is draw and get creative as much as I possibly can in my spare time...... & update my blog and new illustration Facebook page with my latest stuff... Watch the space!

Illustrations from Paris Fashion Week - Day 1

I had the most amazing experience at London Fashion Week illustrating for Fashion Scout's blog. This is because I was doing something I love and am super passionate about and had so much creative responsibility. I enjoyed running from hair and make-up rooms, to back stage of the catwalk to the show itself, all to get the best inspiration for my illustrations. I hope that you enjoy the illustrations as much as I enjoyed creating them!

Illustrating for Fashion Scout at London Fashion Week has made me realise that fashion illustration is something that I really wish to pursue as a career. I am currently looking for work in illustration, probably freelance, but a full time job would be amazing. 

As well as working London Fashion Week, I also worked London Fashion Weekend. My role was being part of the general staff and making sure that the public was looked after. This was enjoyable and I throughly enjoyed being part of a busy, high fashion atmosphere and contributing to the bigger outcome. I got some great street style images from LFW and LFWend that I want to do illustrations of , but haven't yet had the time, so that will be coming soon. I also have a lot of things that I want to illustrate from Milan Fashion week, but in the meantime, it is currently Paris Fashion Week and I have decided to illustrate each day the highlights from some shows. I wish that I could be in Paris as I had been in London, then I would have more fluid images to inspire me; maybe next season I will be lucky enough.

Day one Paris Fashion Week.

Completing Fashion Drawing Summer School at UAL Central Saint Martins on Friday has inspired me to continue to create fashion illustrations on a regular basis. I have just created an Instagram account for my illustrations to be promoted and I am hoping to get a page on my blog for my illustrations so that my work is able to be seen in one place.

Jeremy Scott x Adidas

So I've been constantly applying for fashion and beauty jobs in London the past few weeks, I can't believe how hard and competitive it is finding a job with creative and business attributes. 

The only interest I currently have had is working for companies for free. As a recent graduate I am already in a huge amount of debt and can't keep digging myself deeper into a hole, I also think it is completely unethical of companies to get staff for free without any possibility of employment at the end of the internship/ placement. 

As the weather has been absolutely lush today I took a couple of hours off from job hunting and decided to do this "Jeremy Scott x Adidas" blog post that I have been meaning to do for a while. 

I got this swim piece for my birthday and have fallen in love with it, also Iggy Azalea and Nicki Minaji have both been seen wearing it! ekk.

Levi cut off shorts, white Vagabond sandals and red lips finish off this look.

Would have loved to have created a fashion illustration with this post but I have ordered new equiptment and am waiting for it to arrive before I next draw.

Fashion illustration

Whilst I have the next month to relax because uni is over, I wanted to make the most of my free time by practicing some fashion illustration techniques. This is an image that I illustrated and edited on Photoshop. There were so many outcomes and a variety of moods that I could capture during editing, so there may be some more uploaded at a later date. For now, this is a simple style that I like.
