I thought I would take a moment to share some of my favorite live fashion sketches and illustrations I have created over the last few years. From Las Vegas to right here in Atlanta, from casual sporty events to holiday soirees and Amazon Fashion events…I’ve had a lot of variety over the years. And it brings me so much joy to see how happy guests are after receiving their hand made drawing.
This lilac look & Dior book bag was so fun to sketch for this beautiful woman at an Amazon Fashion Influencers event in Las Vegas.
I loved illustrating this woman’s hair, and pops of gold in her jewelry & red sweater. It’s so cute to see a denim look translated into a 5 x 7” custom artwork.
For a glam holiday look, I adored this couple’s fits. Her black feathery dress, and his burgundy blazer…the looked SO GOOD! And they loved their sketch. It was a win win!
It’s always fun to sketch fashion trends of the moment. Last year the bubble hem & polka dots were all the rage. So this was just super cute to illustrate. I thought she looked so fab!
This event was a luncheon for Neiman Marcus here in Atlanta. I have sketched this woman before and she is so elegant. I loved pulling those colors for her skirt. I feel so grateful to live in a city like Atlanta, which is full of diversity. It makes for the best inspiration for me as an artist.
This woman ENJOYED the process so much. Some events I sketch with the person seated with me. Other times I work from photos. She was seated and in awe of every line and color I sketched. And her illustration was so fun to do!
When you live in a college football town, be prepared to sketch the college colors from time to time. I loved this sporty UGA fashion sketch! The pop of red really makes for a good fashion sketch.
One of my tricks I do for live sketching, is I have fashion forward poses I work from. I want every sketch to look like a fashion designer sketched you. It elevates every piece I draw. This pose I felt worked really well for this beautiful woman’s afro & white dress. She was SO fun to sketch.
This silver & black Prada look was so elegant. It was the first sketch of this event, and it gave me a lot of confidence for the 30 other pieces I sketched that afternoon for Neiman Marcus.
I thought this look was so fun and that bag! I hope you enjoyed a look at some of the styles I have sketched for events. If you’re interested in booking a live fashion sketching and illustration activation email jessillustration@gmail.com
