In class digital painting

Our instructor used red and green lights as the setting so we had to figure out how to use the colors and how to paint the dark/light sides since the light sides were on both side.

Puss in boots - cat character

This is costume design for the cat character in Puss in boots story.
The style inspiration is combining 2 historical periods - Art Nouveau & Elizabeth Period.
Here is the collage:


Then I did 20 ideations of the cat's costumes.



and narrowed down 10 ideations with color keys


This is still an on going project.
I am gonna do 3 different poses with 3 different costumes of the cat.
I will upload it when I am done. :)

Fashion illustration

It's my first time to try out some fashion illustration techniques.
It's so fun!!! I really love doing it with pen and ink ~
The model was great ~ she could do all the poses showing S curves.
Too bad that I didn't have the right brushes to draw ~ so that my line quality was not as smooth as I expected (I was using Chinese calligraphy brushes) .
