I have always loved finding interesting photographs of people and cutting them out to put in my sketchbook. These days, I like to turn them into vector illustrations using Adobe Illustrator.
Original reference photo by Dave Powell of the blog Shoot Tokyo. The glasses and the half-hair were an instant draw.
For this one, I knew the hair would be a challenge for me to draw, so I went for it. Original reference photo unknown, taken at a Mimi Wade fashion show.
I liked the folds of the coat in this one. Original reference photo by the Sartorialist.
Original reference photo by Emma Jane Kepley for Flashes of Style/Bonnie Barton. The bright shirt and glasses drew me to the original image.
