Fashion Ilustrations - inspiration for Portfolio.

Merry Christmas to everyone! Hope everyone is enjoying the season.
Feliz Navidad a todos! Espero que todos esteis pasandolo bien.

Over the Christmas period; as this is my 3rd and final year in my fashion and textiles degree, some of my homework is to think about my portfolio and  to begin organizing how I would lay out the pages. So I have started looking at ilustrations and technical drawings, I've looked on fashion portfolio websites and pages such as Arts Thread, of which I have come across a few images that I like and that catch my eye.
So I thought I'd put a few up here so to keep me inspired and hopefully to inspire others!

  I picked this ilustration as I really like the freedom in the lines. The sketch is quite simple but contains everything needed and is pleasing to the eye. It looks like painted

These drawings look more polished-I wonder if they have been assisted by Photoshop or some other computer program. I like the proportion of the figures; with their look thin legs.

I like the drawings of the figures as well as the garments. I also like the contrast of the grey skin tone against the bright colours of the garments.

I love the flow of this drawing. For something so simple I find it really captivating. I aspire to draw like this;  with such fluidity by such a simple line. This looks as if it is drawn with either a hard pencil or koln.

I love the textures achieved with the brush stokes and shading with the different tomes of colours.

I'm not familiar with Haydon Williams-but I have found some amazing figures. Drawn with just pencil or coloured pencils, but the figures have a good flow from the figure to the dress.

Love the figures and the designs! Monocrome with the black and white. I think these are very me!

Leanne Marshall. I like the water colours used on this drawing. I always thought water colours could be a little messy but this has shown me wrong, also shows how vibrant the colours can be.
