Those of you saw my earlier post may or may not have known that the pretty girl with the festive updo I was illustrating was Sabinna, one half of the blogging duo that puts out Broken-Cookies. The other half is David, who I would also like to capture in paint at some point.
If you’re not familiar with their blog, check it out. They’re both university students based in London and their photo sets are often collage-like and dreamy, making nights out on the town somehow seem like an arty thing to do. And speaking of which, there’s always something creative going on at BC. In a recent post, Sabinna posed in a flapper-style dress of her own creation made out of all cassette tapes.
The illustration you see here is based on a photo from the blog but I took a bit of artistic license, turning Sabinna’s grey top into a striped one since I though it lent a little more to the Euro gamine look I was going for. (Hope that doesn’t seem too creepy of me!)
She's a real beauty!
Loved the final result! You made a good choice qith the striped t.shirt! Love it.

i saw the work in progress, those stripes are hard for me to curl in watercolor, u did an amazing job, not creepy at all, I would love to see these university bloggers of London=)p.s my friend who passed away was not sick, she took her own life…I just knew it last night=(
Doesn't sound creepy to me. You're an artist and you knew just the look you wanted to achieve here. The stripes look great and balance the dark of the hair better than the gray top would have. Wonderful pose!
She is beautiful…love how you can capture all the facial features.
cheers, dana
oh yes, love this and i love what you did with the shirt! her hair is very cool, too! this is very well done…i will have to visit their site, as i am intrigued by a dress from cassette tapes! so creative. have a great sunday
