Shyeah. =D So this is my fashion design final project. After this we have to do something in pencil, and I need to get that done by Friday. D:

The assignment was to use a historical reference from 1900 or earlier and base a more modernized design off of it. I chose a Russian dress from 1870 and this is what I came up with, although the embroidered pattern in the reference looked MUCH better. =( Oh well. This isn't my best work, but it's my last fashion painting until, like, 11th grade. ^^; I'm doing drawing and painting next year. :boogie: Anyways... the colors were hard to choose. I originally wanted a cream yellow and greens, but that didn't work out so I decided to do a different color scheme. This one turned out a lot better. My teacher helped me a lot during this. I'm still kicking myself for screwing up the pattern though. I should've done it in Copics. :oops: Or ink. Ah, whatever.

I really don't have a lot to say about this! :headache:
Well, anyway, the reference I used can be found here: [link] =P It's... much better, but then again I LOVED just about everything in that book. lol.

Enjoy! :nod:

MATERIALS USED: Watercolors, Micron 01 brown inking pen, masking fluid (well, I never list that but I DO use it when I paint sometimes.). Touch ups and border done on PSP X.

Wow, amazing details. I love your fashion paintings, they're always so original. I love that you took inspiration from the dress but still made it modern. The lacy details are incredible!

The embroidered pattern is a bit more complicated, I think the one you made fits the style of the outfit and the fact it's supposed to be more modern. But what the hell do I know about clothes?

I like the colours you used for this, they fit well together. The detail on the outfit and the colouring are amazing.

Something about the hips and the legs is bothering me though. It looks as if her legs are a bit too far right, but after looking at it several times while writing this it also looks like it could be the jacket.
