SELFPORTRAIT

2012-01-11T02:11:00.000-08:00

This is the first self portrait I have done for a very long time! When I was younger we would have to do many in oil painting class, so I have a few lying around in my house in fancy frames. I have to admit drawing your own eyes is a lot easier then of someone else. Here is one version in colour and one in black and white just because I can never decide.

Sometimes the best Christmas presents are the ones you buy for yourself, I finally found these Alexander Wang Tilda knotted sandals in Cream,the colour which I wanted for so long but had been sold out . They are very soft and comfortable with a good heel to go to work in, so Merry Christmas to me!

I want these Missoni Python trimmed suede boots so badly, Net-a-porter wont ship these to Australia due to custom regulations...I need to plan a way to sneak these bad boys in!

2011-12-01T12:05:00.001-08:00

I would team up the beautiful new Tiffany and Co 'Bottle' pendant by Elsa Perreti, with the contemporary minimalistic designs by you guessed it! Alexander Wang. A modern take on 90s sleek works well with this unique piece.

JILL STUART

2011-07-26T04:49:00.000-07:00

It has been a while since my last post! I have been drawing a lot for other people but not for my own blog, So it is nice to be able to work on something that I have been wanting to draw since last year. This is one of my favourite looks from Jill Stuart Fall 2011( a while ago). A Vintage inspired dress worn by my favourite model Lindsey Wixson.

Tallulah

2011-07-01T01:01:00.000-07:00

I decided to do a quick sketch of one of my favourite Aussie model Tallulah this afternoon, I accidentally used my 2B instead of the usual HB but I like how it turned out ,well enough for me to put it up on the blog :)

I will do a proper one of her soon, I absolutely loved drawing her eyes.

This is my favourite animal in the whole world it is called a Sloth and he is from where I am from,Colombia. All they do all day is sleep high up in the trees of the Amazon Rain forest.

LE POUSSON ROUGE

2011-06-13T03:34:00.000-07:00

I absolutely love animals and this is Le Pousson Rouge which is french for the goldfish! I enjoy drawing animals I think I might draw a few more of my favourites in the next few days.

SKY HIGH

2011-06-09T22:31:00.001-07:00

These few of my favourite things at the moment. It is nice to take a break from drawing people I find it harder in some ways because the lines are not as soft or natural.Links and quilting are harder to draw than you think, I found myself doing maths equations in my head to figure out how to space these little things! Click on the image to make it bigger, there is a lot of detail this size doesn't show.

ps.You may recognise the ring from previous posts :)

YIN AND THE YANG

THE SECRET

2011-06-01T01:05:00.001-07:00

I drew the A Wang Dakotas a few months ago, and i guess the power of positive affirmation brought them to me! they came in the mail today,I picked them up from the post office I felt like i was waiting outside the maternity ward to greet a new baby, The leather is very soft and they are quite comfortable despite them being super tall.

YOUNG KATE

2011-05-25T01:52:00.000-07:00

I haven't been ignoring the blog, I have actually been drawing non stop finishing 2 pieces to the point of putting them on the blog and deleting it after staring at them and deciding I wasn't happy with them! I even redid a picture of 2 girls and still I wasn't happy!

I am going to make birthday cards of these pictures, I think they look quite festive!

ABBEY-LEE #2

2011-05-06T22:28:00.000-07:00

I did this drawing of Abbey-Lee before I left to Sydney, this will be the last of the series of drawings I have been posting lately.

I need some new inspiration! Hopefully it will be found soon.

It was my first proper time in Sydney, i absolutely loved it!I went with my best friend which is probably why it was so much fun.I really need to learn how to use the different functions on my camera, these photos are from the Bec & Bridge show and party, Shakuhachi show and Friend of Mine and the Fashion Palette party.

ps. that is not my puppy!

CHINA DOLL

2011-04-06T14:07:00.001-07:00

KATE MOSS

ALEXANDER WANG DAKOTA

2011-03-26T19:48:00.000-07:00

I really really want a pair of these beauties, first choice would be pink but black of course would be the smarter (boring) option.

Sometimes i like the draft better than the final product,here is Daphne in pencil.

Ashley Smith

2011-01-09T18:57:00.000-08:00

My absolute favourite model at the moment Ashley Smith, she is just gorgeous and its very refreshing to see her gap tooth smile and a tiny bit of curves.

This drawing was meant to be just a quick sketch so i could test out my new water colours but i don't mind how its turned out!

Don't know about this last one..just experimenting a little on photoshop with colours and effects.
