I recently did a few illustrations for M&M Fashion Bites blog. Maria and Marina run this blog and are two very stylish girls. I've been painting a lot lately so it was nice to switch it up for a bit.
This is my first blog collab so I took my time during the drawing process. I sketched each one two or three times before I was happy. Pencil on watercolor paper makes for easy shading. I chose to keep them clean and simple without color. Can't wait to hang these in white frames very soon.
Since January is coming to a close here are a few of my goals for the coming month. I plan to take them seriously and assign a date in my planner for each one. Do have any special goals for February? Please share!

P.S. I used Canva.com to make my to-do list!
Very pretty piece... I started out as a fashion illustration major many years ago at FIT in NYC.
ReplyDeleteYour work brings back many great memories. ;)
Thanks Karen!
DeleteThese are beautiful, great work :)
ReplyDeleteThese are really lovely. I agree the pencil on white paper is very effective. My main goal for February is to complete 5 paintings for an upcoming exhibition that I found out last night starts a month earlier than I thought (I'm only 1/2 way through the first painting so I'm going to be very busy!!)
ReplyDeleteGood luck Nic I hope you make it though all five!
DeleteI decided to take a selfie everyday in February as a love letter to myself since I tend to avoid being in front of the camera! Your list gave me a few more ideas. Good luck with your goals!
ReplyDeleteWow...a selfie everyday! I like that. I normally have to force myself to be in a photo. Can wait to see your photos.
DeleteThese are great. And your goal list is impressive!!! Love it.
ReplyDeleteThose are gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteWow you are putting a lot of pressure on yourself with that list!! Wow love this Colab....gorgeous artwork!! Be kind to yourself and do what you comfortably can!!

I hear you Giggles...I guess I look back on last year and feel like I could have done more. We shall see how I do come the end of the month! Thanks for stopping by.
DeleteThe drawings will certainly look lovely framed and would fit well into a fancy clothes store!
ReplyDeleteI'm doing two challenges combined in February, 29 Faces and one for creating colourful art through the month of February, "28 dage i farver". I have linked to both in my blog.
Happy PPF
