By Wendy | Published: August 2, 2011
Bonjour! Just got back from a fabulous trip to Montreal, what a beautiful city. Got some progress on Fashion Journal: Day 12 today, here’s a peek. I’m thinking of doing a Mad Men inspired revamp with a full-figured model! And yes, the final will have shoes.

Fashion Journal: Day 10 Progress

By Wendy | Published: June 14, 2011
Day 10 rough line art. Yet another outfit from my visit to L.A. last year! Not surprising, I wore many outfits I adored on that trip. Currently toying with having flatform sandals in the reinterpretation but it’s not set in stone yet. The floppy hat however, is!

Fashion Journal: Day 8 Progress

By Wendy | Published: April 30, 2011
I really want to give this project some legs (pun intended) so I’m speeding up the process by hatching out roughs for several days at once. Above is day 8 in the works. I’m not a huge fan of scarves but quite like this emerald green one paired with my black and white tweed jacket. [...]

La Roux: Progress 4

By Wendy | Published: January 9, 2011
La Roux is coming along! Now there’s shading, textures and more details. Still toying with the overall clothing colours. I’d like her look strong and stoic like a music goddess. Too cheesy? Oh well…

La Roux: Progress 3

By Wendy | Published: January 2, 2011
Now experimenting with shades and makeup for Elly. I want to give her a golden / bronze sheen to match the fierceness of “Bulletproof”. A lil high fashion never hurt anyone!

La Roux: Progress 2

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!

La Roux: Progress 1

By Wendy | Published: December 16, 2010
It’s been awhile since I started the La Roux sketch but finally, progress! It wouldn’t be complete without Elly’s famous mane, so I wanted to make sure it made only the right waves. So far, I’ve got a black and white linear illo with spot colours thrown in for a quick makeup test. Slowly getting [...]

La Roux: Very Rough Sketch

By Wendy | Published: November 8, 2010
Hi kids, do you like La Roux? Because I do! Which is why I’m basing my next series off some of my favourite musicians, and La Roux ranks right up there in the top. Above is a very rough sketch – more of a doodle, really – I came up with while waiting at the [...]

“Shoes” Progress 3

By Wendy | Published: June 24, 2010
Yup, I’m still in fantasy shoes land. Here’s a sneak close-up at some of the shoes in its detailed glory. It’s so easy to get carried away embellishing and texturizing in suede, studs, etc but I’ve set a deadline for end of this week / early next week. Tune in next week to see the [...]
