WILD THING

Wild Thing

By Annabelle King

Completed using pencil and watercolour.

I've been so obsessed with leopard print recently and the whole "wild" look that I decided to base a drawing on it and it was SO much fun to do!

I was actually really inspired by Katy Perry's recent song ROAR. I'm really happy with how this one's turned out - she looks like a LION.

London Fashion Week!

So yesterday I was kindly invited to Nadia Minkoff and Nico Didonna's Spring Summer 2014 collection at London Fashion Week. The collection was entitled "Cubism Line" and it was BEAUTIFUL! 

I got some great shots and here are two of my favorites:

Even outside at Somersethouse the street fashion is incredible, it was like a catwalk show in itself!

These girls all turned around at exactly the right time and i managed to get a photo #caughtinthemoment

 

I'm BACK!

So, I'm back from the beautiful, sun-filled place you call Turkey. 

Although it's great to be back, drawing and all sorts, i do miss the golden sun, sand and long days spent just swimming...

Whilst i was away i took azillion photos of the sceanery etc and here's some of my favs!

I'm off to Turkey on holiday for a few weeks, so wont be posting anything for a while.

Remember, there is still a sale in my etsy shop here so you can still get prints and originals of my illustrations.

Vintage INSPIRATION

 

 

Recently I've been absolutely fascinated with vintage fashion and photography.

I think the thing i love the most about it is the fact that although they didnt have all the high-tech gear we have today, they still produced some of the most beautiful and iconic images!!

Heres some images i found around the web of some stunning vintage photos by amazing photographers such as Horst P. Horst and Erwin Blumenfeld.

Giambattista Valli Haute Couture Autumn Winter 2013

The Giambattista Valli Haute Couture Autumn Winter 2013 collection is just to die for!

Lace, frills, embellishments....heaven.

I could have drawn every single look from this beautiful collection but i had to restrain myself to just one!

I chose this one worn by the stunning model, Sasha Luss and completed it using pencil and watercolour.

Heres some more from the enchanting collection.
