By Wendy | Published: December 21, 2010
She’s coming along! La Roux’s Elly is now bathed in a golden / bronze colour palette. Not 100% on exact colours yet as I tend to experiment and change it as details and textures get added. I did make sure to pay homage to one of my fave accessories on her: the over-sized cameo!

Life Drawing Sketches

By Wendy | Published: October 30, 2010
This is the first time I’ve attended a studio life drawing session in three years! Ever since school finished, my life drawing has been more or less on the back burner with the occasional cafe sketching. It felt wonderful to get my hands dirty with conté again! Definitely will try to go more often.
