Back in my college days (almost 20 years ago), I had enough fashion and costume design courses under my belt that I should have declared it a second major--oh well--One of the last classes I took was fashion illustration and I just recently put the only two remaining sketches, up on the wall in the studio.
The next three sketches are from my "rough draft and practice" sketch book. When I worked for one of the Big Four accounting firms, we would go through quite a bit of letter head quality paper and when some issue was found with the letters printed on it, I would take a bunch and bind them for a sketch book--it is lovely paper for that! The fact that it is re-purposed paper and printed on one side makes it less scary to start sketching!!

And when you find yourself with a craving for a bbq sandwich and no one to go to the Patio with you, you take your sketch book and see what happens. This was from this past Friday, and I've subtitled them "Patio Pencils" ---lol!
A fabulous week of art-ing to you! And don't forget to click the buttons on the right to visit the fantastic artists for Sunday Sketches as well as all the challenges listed!!

Ooh fashion illustration! My long time favorite secret wanna be. I love your sketches. Did you ever make the clothes you sketched? Do you watch Project Runway? My Fav show. I like your sketchbook images as well. I never think to submit pencil sketches, but they're fab. Great to meet you through PPF. :-)
Hi Maria, lovely fashion sketches. I did fashion at college but went in a completely different direction after the course hehehe. I absolutely love your mermaid sketch and would love to see it painted! I love painting mermaids and I really love the flow to this sketch and the way you've created the tail. Very lovely indeed. I've just been going back through your posts and i have to say I just love your work, I really love your use of colour lovely!!!! :0)
