Giambattista Valli Haute Couture 2015

I love everything about Paris Couture week, and as always I feel compelled and inspired to draw as soon as the looks hit the runway!

Giambattista Valli never EVER fails to amaze, everything floral, embroidered and frilly - Of course!

I decided to draw this look that features a beautiful silk flower covered bodice and chiffon skirt. 

I hope you like!

I used pencil for the main part and watercolour for the skirt, which I think worked quite well to show the flowy-ness of the skirt. I discovered Art Masking Fluid the other day, (and I'm currently obsessed lol) and decided to use it on this piece to mask out the white embroidered flowers on the skirt - It worked like a treat!

Anyway, heres some snaps from the Giambattista Valli show and backstage :)

 

Feeling Fruity

 

I am sooo sorry I havn't posted in so long, I have been so busy, but I promise I will be updating my blog much more often :)

Anyway, inspired by summer fruity vibes and bright colours, I decided to do a beauty / fashion illustration series featuring some of my fav summer fruits; lemon, watermelon and pineapple. 

Hope you like them!

 I used my usual pencil and watercolour for all these and the originals and prints are available for purchase in my etsy store - https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/AnnabelleKingg

If your following me on instagram you'll probably be thinking, this is SUCH a late post - which it is. But, you'll also know that I've recently been away holidaying in Turkey so I guess I have a good excuse to why I havn't been posting ;) Haha!

Expect a few more posts following this one including one about my home from home, Turkey :)
