I was just back home for a couple of weeks, and my friend's mother asked me to do her new daughter-in-law's wedding dress.
9"x12" white pencil on black paper. My favorite part of this dress was drawing the train. I really enjoy drawing folds in the material and the subtle shadowing. It gives me a lot of satisfaction. :)
I'm still working on getting my Etsy Shop, PataraRose, off the ground. If you're interested in a drawing for yourself, a friend, sister-in-law, sister, etc, please check out my shop! I also do watercolor paintings of bouquets, because I really love to draw and paint flowers the most :)
Thanks for looking!
So I know I still haven't finished my watercolor painting of Plumerias yet (I know, I'm such a slacker...) but I have been working to set up a little business selling custom drawn wedding gowns. It all started with my best friend who got married last year. She asked me to do a drawing of her dress and of course I did.
Everyone who saw it thought it was really nice and a great idea and I've had a few requests since then for drawings. Talking some more with my BFF who is in the wedding gown business, she said this is an up and coming thing, and designers are starting to do sketches of their dresses for their bridal customers. So I figured, why not give it a shot? I took the leap and opened up a shop on Etsy today and I'm really excited about it. Check it out for yourself!
