I think the size and dramatic shape of the hat is really
effective as it has an impactful and eye-catching effect. I also like how the
shape is simplistic and based upon the quick brush strokes. I really like how Siriano includes tiny feminine details to
the model, such as the swirl on the shoulder of the oversized eyelashes and
thin, delicate fingers as it makes the illustration more sophisticated and
graceful.
I think this illustration is really interesting because of
the angle of the dress. I would expect a front view or back view but I like the
way a side view has been used as it really displays the volume and shape of the
skirt. I like the way texture has been created using watercolour in
the skirt as it is not realistic but truly conveys the way the skirt will look
once made. The texture was emphasised by adding drops of water into the pink
which meant the colour bled to the outside of the drop, giving the texture a
more organic, and natural feel.
I think the models themselves are very extreme as their body
is long and thin while there head is tony and disproportionate. I think the delicacy
of the hands is really pretty and I like how they have shape in their hips as
well. I don’t like how broad and masculine their shoulders are however. I included this illustration because of the detailing added
to it. I think that these tiny marks are effective in displaying texture and
technique and I think the use of watercolour to create them was risky as the
colours could bleed and mix, but works well.
