60's Girl

As promised, I'm doing some hairstyle illustrations as suggested by YOU! On Facebook, my friend suggested I do the 1960's, so here's a quick little sketch I did with my Pentel brush pen with some watercolour on top.

Treading in the Thirties

I've been a fan of Guy Bourdin's photography since forever but he's sort of a gross man. I remember doing a research project on him in my History of Fashion Illustration class and he'd make his models crawl into scary places with rats and stuff and just generally be a dick about things. But never the less, I find his images fascinating, disembodied limbs and all, so macrabre yet glamorous. For this sketch I was also inspired by shoes from the 1930's, they can have such an orthopedic charm to them.

My portfolio needed some freshening up with some new pieces so I thought I'd make a new header for my blog since I've been neglecting it a little bit. But what was meant to be a header turned out to be more of a footer (get it? get it?), I might have to make new one with some heads and hairs instead (perhaps from another decade).

What's your favourite fashion decade? Especially for hairstyles. Say it and I'll draw it for my next illustration!
