Reflective Diary: Fashion Illustration

I am having a bit of an identity crisis trying to find my own style with fashion illustration.

It's not something that comes to me naturally. I keep trying force myself to try new styles but none of them so far feel natural, I just think i haven't found my style yet which sounds simple enough but i'm finding it hard to find that missing ingredient. I have done a bit of searching on the web to find fashion illustrators that inspire me to find new techniques and here are a few that i have found along the way, that really excite me and get me motivated to try and take certain qualities from there wor

k and

add them to mine to see if that is what my fashion illustration is missing.

These are illustrations done by a company based in Berlin called Wacker Eins.

what i love about these illustrations is that the garment is the focus of the attention but there is so much m

ore going on in the background and your eyes just move from one bit of detail to another, this is an image that would never get boring to stare at.

Tobie Giddio

She has worked for clients such as Apple and Tiffany & Co and to the present day works within the fashion industry.

Her work to me is inspiring each picture just exudes movement and life within the abstract illustration.

Each image looks like it is moving almost like the model is striding down the runway and i think that is a great quality in

her work.

These are just a few of her images if you fancy having a look at more inspiring pieces of art have a look at her website (Hopefully the link works)

Tina Berning

When i discovered Tina Berning on my quest for inspiration i was inspired by the variation with her work and how two images did not look the same.

This interested me because i felt like an accomplished artist like herself didn't really have a set style so does that mean we all can experiment on each different illustration and we don't need a set style for someone to recognizes us by.
