    wow! you really captured the look of this dress. your costume illustrations have such a unique style. did you draw this one on paper and then transfer it into Photoshop?

    awesome drawing! i really like your style. I didn't realize you colored it in photoshop. it looks like colored pencils.

    thanks, suko! i haven't colored that much in pshop, want to try it more/learn more tricks... the illustrations that i did in class last semester were either color pencil or watercolor or watercolor pencil, then enhanced in pshop in some cases, but not ever from scratch.

    i also want to try markers, but i'm told it's more difficult/advanced than watercolor, which i'm not that good with.

    Oooh, I really prefer your pink dress over the original. Super sketch! Will you make the dress too?

    thanks for following me, joanna! glad you like the sketch, i'm going to try to do more over the month (and beyond). i'd love to see your drawings too, we can share w/ each other... it's doubtful i'll make the dress, but maybe i'll try... :)

    i'm excited to be doing tad for the 4th year in a row! i don't have any grand plans or a theme planned this year but want to try making a variety of things, similar to projects i have done in the past: plush toys, refashioned garments, sculpey figurines, photography, drawings and illustrations, and other miscellaneous things i've been meaning to do/wanting to try.

    here are some links:
