1. thank the person who nominated you, and post a link to their blog on your blog.

4. provide 11 random facts about yourself.

5. nominate 5 – 11 blogs that you feel deserve the award, who have a less than 1000 followers. (Note that you can always ask the blog owner this since not all blogs display a widget that lets the readers know this information!)

my fashion illustrations

these are some of my illustrations for my portfolio i was using different media to create these in the first one i used watercolour and pen i thought this looked successful. Then for the next illustration i experimented with collaging with the real fabrics used for the garment. Then lastly i used manga makers for the last illustration. I like manga makers because they stay wet for longer and you can blend them, also they don't make it look to streaky like other brand marker.

so what do you think?
