I prefer drawing dresses and gowns than any other type of clothing, but I'd rather sew than draw. Art is not in my genes. I can appreciate them, but if I have to turn a 3D thing that I see into something 2D on paper, I always have a hard time. I still have a lot to improve on so I tried painting illustrations of pictures* that I find on the web.

I love the flowers on the first dress. Maybe in the future, I could sew something with the same silhouette.

college get-up

I don't usually draw clothes that reflect what I wear. I normally wear wide legged pants with colorful prints. I realized that whenever I draw my pants, I couldn't capture the general feel of the bohemian, ethnic look that I carry. My illustrations usually show what I see, instead of what I wear. So, here's my interpretation of college fashion.

jellyfish gowns

One of our design plates in our apparel design class is about mutations. We were asked to apply different textures to the regular fashion figure. I decided to use the jellyfish for the bottom half of the body, a woven rattan torso and a dream catcher face.

I took our plate as inspiration for a formal wear collection. Their skirts look like jelly fishies, right? ^_^

I used to hate jellyfish. I was so afraid of them when I was young. Now, I don't hate them as much. I realized that they look very much like gelatin. And I love gelatin!

swimwear

Every human being must know how to read, write and swim. Seriously.

wedding in green

This is one of our submissions for our fashion illustration class. Our teacher asked us to paint on colored boards using white watercolor paint. It was my first time to use this technique, and I really love how it turned out. When I find the time, I might try it again just for fun.

digital media

These illustrations were done using Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Illustrator.

I love drawing gowns :)

These are my first few illustrations.

Before this, my best drawings were stick figures. I wanted to learn how to draw so I studied how ^_^
