Illustration inspiration

I was just wandering around the internet, having a little stroll through the blogosphere when I stumbled upon Kelly Anna Sheppard's blog. The two illustrations at the top caught my eye as I instantly recognised last season Hermione de Paula in sketch form. I am pretty much smitten with anything transferred into ink form but it's even better when it's on of my favourite pieces from one of my favourite collections of last season. After a bit of a trawl through Kelly Anna's blog I found a haul of other Vauxhall Fashion Scout designer sketches, it's like a goldmine! Love the Florencia Kozuch sketch, if you remember I posted about her a couple of weeks ago here so it's very nice to see it in a different medium.

I love the way you can see that they were drawn at speed but with a lot of skill and detail, beautiful, I think you'll agree.

Kelly Anna's blog can be found here. Also, I recommend the Vauxhall Fashion Scout blog for great backstage and catwalk images.

I'm going to a screening of Spike Jonze's new film in conjunction with Absolut tonight so that should be fun!

Yeah the sketch of Hermione's is immediately recognisable! What great dimensions. I wish I could draw like this. Did you go to the Hermione show? I know what you mean but I do love Isa who opened and was also in her show last season.

I love looking at fashion illustrations. It's interesting to see the modd of a collection conveyed in a drawing. These are so inspiring! I need all the inspiration I can get at the moment... My fashion illustrations are awful!

Thanks for sharing, the illustrations are incredible. For someone that still struggles with stick images, I can really appreciate illustration (with envy), especially when they are sketched at the speed of lightening like most.
