Here's to the best time of the year: crisp weather, warm drinks, snuggling with scary movies, and inktober! This is my first time participating in inktober (...because it's my first time I've felt comfortable with my illustration skills to try this out) 31 days of fashion illustrations coming your way!

10 minute contour studies in my fashion illustration class today

Forced to work in marker from the beginning to improve my line confidence

I’m surprisingly pleased at the outcome

Morning therapy art. Last night was rough, my heart still aches for the (currently 84) lives that were lost so close to where I’m studying. Stay strong, France. You’ve got millions of hearts behind you.

Went on a sketching date with this gem yesterday and it was lovely. It was beautiful outside and the park was full of tourists in for St. Patrick’s Day. I also love this child to death so here’s a sad little sketch of the doll.
