September 2016 series wrap up...

9/29/2016

My September 2016 series has come to a close... when I finish a series there is the period of uncertainty where I am am closing up that series but thinking of the next one- always thinking ahead.

Sometimes it is an easier transition than others...sometimes I feel like I am floundering, sometimes it is seamless.

This was not my original plan for September, I have a special trip coming up that is related to the original idea...that trip was moved so I needed to move the series, but once I decided on fashion illustration, it all made sense, it was very organic.  

​I knew once I did that first illustration for the series that it was the right choice.

...getting closer to that goal of 1826 consecutive days of daily art...gotta finish strong!
After spending the month focusing on fashion it only confirms what I already knew- I love fashion and fashion illustration.  I missed it.  I produced over 200 illustrations early on in this whole art every day gig, and then I hit a period of just...nothing.  I made my daily art and other msc. pieces, but limited fashion illustrations, few and far between. Moving forward, I would like to continue to create these, and I need to learn so much more to improve my skills and my general knowledge base.  That will be part of my goals for the rest of 2016 and looking to 2017.

Having said all that, here are my finished pieces from this month, which includes thirty daily pieces, four mixed media pieces and two finished fashion icon portraits. (not pictured, one hundred sixty #AngelDropART paintings and the two portraits of my granny I gifted to my mom and sister);

I got a little ahead of myself and started two side-series, the mixed media pieces and the fashion icon portraits.  I lost steam on the mixed media pieces, I was originally intending to create one of those as a companion piece to the daily piece...every...day.  I very quickly realized this would be too much and stopped, only to start ANOTHER side series, what I am calling the 'fashion icon' series.  I have a list of different designers and iconic people of the fashion world that I would like to depict- I finished two and have four unfinished ones staring me down;

I was really beating myself up about not finishing this side series, I wanted to complete thirty this month and was really disappointed in myself that I didn't meet that goal. However, I am going to put them aside and work on them at some point, either as an on-going project or even as a future monthly series since I already started the research part.  Some ideas that I have are focusing on just one or a couple of people each month and really trying to learn more about them and then drawing pieces from their collections if applicable.  Just a thought.

I also wanted to post another pic of the final piece in the series, an illustration of Erin Robertson's winning design.  Just for fun, I added some 'black light' details!

It was tough to get a pic of the 'black light' version of my illustration, but...you get the idea!

...and now...  
​On to October!!
