Disney Girls Illustration

The thing I love about Disney characters is that they are very iconic. 

Cinderella's blue dress, Minnie's polka dots, Belle's rose, Ariel's red hair, and so on.. 

I also love seeing the iconic characters done in different styles.

These sketches below are my twist on Cinderella, Minnie, Tink, and Alice's iconic outfits, done in fashion illustration style! 

Pop Belle - Work in Progress

Pop Belle piece coming soon! ;)

New Rapunzel Sketches

I'm currently working on Pop Rapunzel piece, and I've been going back and forth on so many poses already! 

The good news is, that I think I've finally decided on "the one" from today's sketches! yay!

This is the one I'm going to use for Pop Rapunzel.

Hope everyone will like it once I'm done! ;)

 This was another option, but I would like to turn this one into something more graphic :)

And just some random sketches..

I love her big eyes and the flowy hair! 

Sketch inspired by Givenchy Fall 2012 Couture dress

When I saw the Givenchy Fall 2012 couture collection, I was wow-ed by how beautiful the dresses were and wanted to draw them!

I love the sheers and all the embellishments on the dresses!

I started sketching with pencil very roughly and scanned into photoshop to add some colors.

I feel like whenever I erase the messy lines and the smudges from the sketch, it kind of looses the feel from the original sketch on the paper. I wish photoshop can automatically clean up the images just the way I like it! =D

I actually like this version with rough pencil and just touches of color, but I wanted to show the sheer skirt part of the dress, so I added a bright color background and made the dress blue =)

Here is the fully colored version! Which one do you like? =)

Girl with a heart

As I mentioned, I'm trying to do more sketches in my free time at home.

So here's a quick photoshop sketch in a few different color variations.

Disney Characters - Sketches

I was looking through my old sketchbook and realized how long I've been abandoning my sketches inside, so I scanned some of them to post them here =)

And also realized I should be doing more sketches from now on!

I think the hardest thing about creating new artwork is to find an inspiration for it.

It seems like you always end up drawing the same thing that you like, or something that you're confident about drawing it.. then everything starts looking the same..

Which isn't a bad thing, but these days, I feel challenged to explore new styles and new inspirations to experiment with.

Maybe it's just a homework for all artists that never ends.

Here are some Disney character sketches from my sketchbook from few years ago =)

Tinkerbell and a bunny fairy

Cinderella and her glass slippers

Ariel

summer girl sketch

Sorry it's been so long since I updated the blog!

I'm back from my trip to LA and now back to freelancing at home..

While I was browsing on the internet for some ideas, I found a picture of a pretty girl in a cool swim suit and wanted to draw her! I exaggerated the pose little bit and added my style into the drawing =) By the way, I love the tribal pattern on her swim suit! I wish summer time gets here soon!

Happy Holidays~

Less than 10 days left until Christmas is here!

I love seeing all the Christmas lights and trees everywhere I go around this

time of the year! And one good thing about being in Korea is that you can always expect to have a white Christmas! Something that I couldn't have while I was living in LA.

Just wanted to share some photos that I took this morning outside my place :)
