the big picture

i have been asked to create an illustration to sum up what my collection is about. i already attempted this in an earlier post, but dont feel that explained my theme enough. i have decided my theme name of 'Bohemian Nature' doesnt quite sum up what i want for my collection anymore, as i feel my direction and customer has changed. i have been considering the name 'Fairytale Forrest'. i think this encapsulates my idea more and would be more suitable.

here is the illustration i have created:



i used the image below as inspiration and drew over it in illustration with a clear black outline. i then took it into photoshop and filled the dress with my original inspiration photo. i like the effect this achieved. i then went onto the shading on the hair and arms to make them more 3D and realistic. I then focused more on the face, adding subtle makeup and gentle shading to create shadows. i chose to use a pastel flower photo in the background to bring in some colours from my colour palette. i also used my colour pallete to colour in the ring and nail.
