illustration

The above is one of my first illustrations for menswear fashion, inspired by the photo of Carl Blake (above) that I found in a 2008 edition hair magazine.I like to look at photograph's of people I find interesting and then convert that initial inspiration into a particular style of illustration whether it be loose and fluid, animated or intricate sketching.

 Here, I've taken the styling of the hair in the photo and the mysteriousness of the model's facial expression and interpreted it into my own style of drawing. There's a definite element of cartoon in the illustration together with an essence of rock and roll. I added the leather jacket just because I think it represents his persona.
