Kaja Sokola - Character Sketch Book 212

Hi Friends!
Well the week is almost to a close! (finally)
I'm so exhausted, been a few late ones over the last few weeks.
I've been editing a video, thought i would have it ready for you today,
but it looks like it's going to be up on Sunday!
I hope you like it. :)
The Mixed media painting today is from my Character Sketch Book.
It's of a Polish model who i really think has an interesting look...
her name is Kaja Sokola.
I drew Kaja awhile back, it was just a Scribble Sketch.
So i wanted to do a more polished picture this time around.
It was hard to find many images of her, but i really liked this one.
I'm looking forward to seeing more shoots with her.
I hope you like the painting :)
and hope you're having a great day!

Sleeping Tanya

Hey Hey Hey!
How are yawl doing?
I'm back from Texas!
Wow, it was incredible, so quick but so much fun!
Stacy & Darren's Wedding was amazing!
My brother and i took a red-eye Flight to Texas,
and i ended up being awake for 43 hours out of 48,
which was a new record for me! hah
Needless to say, I'm still recovering from it... haahah

The Painting today is of the always bright eyed and beautiful Tanya Dziahileva of Elite Model Management.
I really have been dying to experiment with some combinations of mixed media...
and i really like how this painting turned out.
Let me know what you think.
I really hope you like it! :)

A Live Sketch of My Brother

Well, my friends,
the post today is something a little different...
I wanted to get better at live sketching,
so I decided to start practicing it on the weekends,
so my brother was nice enough to sit still for this sketch/painting i did of him.
I like how it turned out.
it's kinda crazy, what do you think?
:) I hope you like it,
and hope you are having an amazing day!

Chris Benz Models & Candy Colors

Well my friends!
How are you doing this week?
Well this weekend, i bought a bunch of new art supplies i've never tried before,
so this was my first little experiment with them.
I have hundreds of pictures that i took at the Chris Benz Collection last Fashion Week.
So i thought, why not paint another one of those pictures :)
The Profile is of the Elite's lovely Masha Kirsanova,
but I'm not sure who the girl in the black hood is.
I really like how the it turned out :)
How are you doing?
Are yawl excited about your school finishing up?

It Happened One Night - Part 1

Wow friends!
I was overwhelmed by all your amazingly nice comments about the McQueen Cover. :)
Thank you so much.
Oh also Sunday something even cooler happened...
My Dad got inducted into the National Wrestling Hall Fame!!
Congrats Poppa! that was amazing ;)
I experimented a bunch on this story book painting today.
Tried some different mixed media stuff on this one ;)
This is only part 1 of the painting, as i have another idea for it.
Well i hope you like it!
thank you all again

The Pilgrimage of Yves Saint Laurent

Alrighty, last but definitely not least, in my painted journey through Paris Fashion Week,
we come to Yves Saint Laurent!
Ok, so i've seen a lot of shoulder pads, but i have to say, these were surprisingly awesome!
They are really fun looking!
Since we in the US are closing in on Thanksgiving, I thought this painting was quite fitting,
cause the shoulders kind of reminded me of the collars of the Pilgrims! haha
Well, i hope you're having a great week.
I hope you liked my series for Sundance Channel.
If you haven't checked out their fashion site, "Full Fontal Fashion" please do.
The site's content is amazing!
How's your week going?
