Since Danah's class on Illustration, I've been thinking a lot about what my style as an illustrator is, and I've been doing some practising and looking on the web for inspiration.
I love fashion illustration, and I love anything that utilizes watercolour, pencil, or pen and ink. Even though I love clean lines and minimalism when it comes to graphic design, I'm also cultivating a love for the messy and the imperfect.
I've been in love with Danny Roberts for a while now- he's a LA-based fashion illustrator who's been gaining a great deal of recognition in the Internet world (see above)
I'm not so sure if this is intentional, but do you see the way the pen is used to make the torso appear really crisp, but the coat draped over the model's shoulders is blurred? Perhaps it's the effect of the scanner, but it almost looks as though it's a play on depth of field.
Been digging Kareem Iliya as well. I love his style- simple, striking, stopping himself before it gets too complicated.
Martine Johanna does awesome stuff as well.... check out this blog for more illustration love.
