Fancy Brides

Hey guys, I'm back to my home country now, Romania that is... had a wonderful time in England this summer, I really miss a very dear person now (my soulmate)...anyway,  I want to show you some more works of mine, this time some fashion sketches which I made in highschool, yep still works from highschool :P. Those two works show my progress in fashion sketching, it was gettin better and better. The theme of this little sketches is bridal dresses in blue and pink., using watercolours combined with chalk pastels. Hope you enjoy!

Pink, green and etc.

Hello, hope you had a nice weekend, I had a great one, went on a camping trip to Scotland...soo cool! Anyway, I want to show you some more of my old highschool sketches which were meant for some school competitions, they are pretty big in size 50cm x 70cm and I used a mixed technique - water colours with chalk pastels.You can check them out and tell me what you think, enjoy!

Little black...and white

From the series of old highschool works, here are some black and white sketches I made, one of my first sketches from the early years of highschool. Hope you enjoy my little post!

The first ones are four sketches which present some blouses and tops designs with some funky hats and other accesories.

The second sketch is an attempt of a  greek dress in black and white again...my sketching style was improving here, thats what I was told back then :P.

Baroque - part I

Remember I told you I'm going to post some more old fashion sketches of mine, to see how I used to draw when I was younger, respectively in highschool? Well I'm going to show you my works from my highschool graduation project. It consisted of four art works, a poster, six fashion sketches, a textile work and a costume. The ones I'm going to show you now are the first two, the others will be soon to see on my blog. My project was inpired by the Baroque era (appeared around 1600, more about it here ), the sketches present dresses inspired by it but in a more modern interpretation and the poster presents a young lady dressed in a red baroque style dress, with very curly hair, like they used to wear it then, even it was actually curly hair wigs they used to wear a lot in that time. This poster was the piece I worked most on from this project, it was fun though cause I really liked what I was doing and the result was excellent, its's my favourite work, well one of them. The techniques I used for it are watercolours combined with  baroque style patterned paper applications (for the writing and hair decoration) and I used a sprayer for the black areas, that was really a challenging thing, as I never  used the sprayer before in colouring my works back then (the graffiti artists are really pro's with it though). Hope you really enjoy this post and new one is soon to come! :D

WeLcome to the New ErA

Hey there, here I come with a new post, this time with some fashion sketches I did for the Inspired Competition 2011, a creative ideas competition which takes place every year in Romania. I obviously participated on the fashion design section, and the 2011 theme for it was traveling as adventure, a combination of an old culture with a new culture or the jouney from an old to a new age. That's how I actually understood the theme, so I chose my work to be inspired by the new age of the internet, and all the things that it brings along, like social media and everything the net can offer these days but I still kept some features from the last century (the 50' and 60's). The dresses in my sketches are inspired by the clothing of the 50's and 60's but come with fantasy-like features of this era,  i.e. internet or social media prints and the phone. Hope you enjoy my ideas and I'll return with a new post soon!

And the ones below are pictures of the boards I made for my inspired project.

Unicorn girl & Co.....

I've been thinking to post some of my old fashion sketches, the ones I made in highschool. You'll see how I used to draw in my school years and compare it with my fashion drawings from my college years, there is a bit of a difference. You will see that in some of my next posts. Until then I will present you two fashion sketches which I made for some school competitions. The first one is a sketch inspired by a unicorn, a very fantasy like outfit and the second one is a sketch with two models, again with some fantasy like outfits, more focused on the skirts. In both of my sketches I used different techniques combining watercolours with chalk pastels. Hope you like my works and if you want you can sent me some feedback also, thank you!

Candydream Sketches

I think this will be the first sketches I'll actually present on my blog, they belong to my Candydream Collection. The five sketches are made with the help of my lucky pencil, watercolours combined with coloured pencils and highlighters.

This is the start of posting my fashion sketches, so many more will come soon, until then, hope you all enjoy  this ones and tell me your opinion about them, if you want, I would really appreciate that, thank you.
