My brother cleaned out his room when he left home and I got his letraset.
I want to use it..and I keep planning to..but when I finish the drawings I was going to put the letraset on..I realise they look better without it.
The first one; a self portrait..making green look wary and anxious and sinister. Colour choice is partially because I now have phthalo green hair, at least for the time being.

Then the next picture is in yellow, trying to make yellow look sad and empty. I'm having this thing with trying to get the colours to represent the opposite of their cultural associations...it would have been very obvious to do this next picture in blue, wouldn't it?

I hope you enjoy, more of these "trying to get the colour to symbolise the opposite of its cultural origin" pictures and more of me trying to use the letraset will doubtless come soon.
And hopefully a few updates since I haven't posted here for ages!
I decided to do a few small fashion illustrations, mainly out of boredom, and also to document some of the ideas floating around in my head. Now, I'm not the best at people, especially unreferenced full body poses, so some of these really aren't the best. Bear with me.
This is the first one I did. It's a little austere, but still completely over the top with its frilliness. It looks a little like something a china doll would wear, or a Victorian girl, perhaps when she was in half mourning.
I decided I was being wasteful by not using the whole paper bag, so after I drew this girl in a yellow bubble dress, I went crazy with psychedelic imagery. Probably a bit of overkill.
I was slightly different in my approach to this. I gave her a background of a nice wheat field. I realise this girl is out of whack, what can I say, it's not an easy pose to do. The dress is green and white, with polka dots on the last two tiers. The green isn't quite that vivid, and my drawing makes the fabric look sheer/shiny when it's not meant to be. Oh well.
