My Little Girl Sketch

Hey Friends!
So today is something a little different, i guess.
I found this picture of Walt Disney's muse Kathryn Beaumont.
Kathryn is the voice and the model for the Character "Wendy" from "Peter Pan"
and she is also "Alice" of "Alice and Wonderland".
So with that said, I found this picture of Kathryn Beaumont as a little girl in the movie "It Happened One Sunday".
She was so completely adorable, i did this little sketch of her.
I really like how it turned out :)
I hope you like it.
Also, hope you're having a great day!
:)

The Girl In the Darkness

Good day!
How are you doing?
Today has been wonderfully relaxing.
I sat and painted all day.
It been a cold coffee day for the last two days (which is my favorite kind!)
Which on a side note, this has been one crazy summer!
I can't remember a summer being this cold.
I love it! I know it sounds weird, but i love cool weather. :)

The Painting today is kinda different, huh?
It's a little bit on the darker/creepy-ish or maybe not creepy but Mysterious side.
But i really like how it turned out.
It's a crazy mixture of Pen, Color Pencil, Water Color, Ink, CRAYONS!!!
hahaha I love Crayons and i haven't colored with them in so long!
Well, i hope you like it :)

Little Miss Ballerina - Video

Hey hey hey Friends!
Sorry for the Long Gap between posts...
I've been exhausted from working, plus i was a little sick,
so i've just been resting up.
But this morning i got a message on twitter to this site called sketch.odopod.com.
It's a site where you can sketch pictures online, and it records the actions.
So i thought i would give it a try!
The picture above was my first test sketch on the site.
I hope you like it!
Thanks Ann for suggesting it! :)
Hope yawl are having a great day!

The Green Gaze

Hi Friends!
How's your week going?
My week is insane! haha
Well, i guess my next two weeks;
The Pre-Fashion Week Buzz is definitely keeping me busy.
So many deadlines over the next few...
I haven't got a chance to look through the Couture Shows yet!
ah! i really want to!
But please forgive me if my posting is a little scattered over the next few weeks!
i'm trying to get some pieces up.

Which brings me to today's piece.
It was a little experimental painting i did.
I really like how it turned out.
It's a lot different, style wise, to my other pieces.
I like the mood of it...

Well... my good friend has a birthday party tonight, so i must be off!
I hope you're doing great! :)

P.S. If you could send all Fashion Show Invites to Info@igorandandre.com that would help me alot! Thanks so much :)

You have no idea how much i love this movie.
Every element, especially Miss Wendy!
She is wonderful! ;)
If only i could figure out how to climb into the tv and live in Neverland.... hmm.. next invention...

Thank you, thank you, to everyone who has been sending me inspiration for the series!
It's really helping me :)

Oh, also yesterday, i started a site with my friend Stacy called "The Dream Walking Society".
The site is full of dreamlike images and videos and music, etc.
The name came about cause I've always wanted to figure out a way to travel in my dreams into my friend's dreams...
haha i know that sounds silly, but it's true.
So that's how the Dream Walking Society came about.

Dreaming up a Series

Hello hello my friends,
how is your day going?
My day's been super laid back, been hanging with my family,
we watched Pinocchio (which is the most genius movie made!!!!!),
and spent the day chatting & discovering new inspiration images with my friend Stacy.
(She's an amazing singer song writer click here to check out her band).
We found some great images, but when i came across this one image from Federica Simoni Flickr Page
i just knew it would translate into a great drawing,
plus i've been wanting to start a new drawing series called "Love"
so this is my second painting in the series.
i hope you like it! :)

p.s. My brother showed me that there is a fan site of my work on Facebook,
and i just wanted to say thank you, thank you, thank you so much.
Yawl are amazing for starting it. If anyone wants to check it out click here

P.s. If you have any images or if you stumble onto any images you think would be good inspiration for my Series on love,
I would love to see them!

In My Dreams

Hello friends!
Well, i drew you all this picture tonight!
i hope you like it.
The clothes are a little something i designed.
i'm hoping to make a few one-off collection with my friend Alice.
The girl in the picture doesn't have a name,
she just shows up in my dreams every few years, just for a few dreams, and disappears.
I really like how the drawing turned out...
I'm hoping she surfaces in tonight's dream.
i will let you know if it happens!
:)

A Sucker for Them Blue Eyes

Hello hello!
Please forgive my absence.
Last week i had to go into work all week
and so needless to say, i'm way behind and trying to catch up.
With that said, i've been meaning to draw a new picture for you all
but have been thwarted at every turn, so last night i sat down and i did this picture for you.
i hope you like it.
Thank you to all for supporting me on the Print and Tee Shirts.
You don't know how much it means. :)
Just wanted to say thank you.

The Girl Experiment

Well, ok so you all requested it....
this was my late night drawing experiment.
It was a super funking and weird technique to get where i got.
It would to hard to explain,
but i don't know, i think it was an interesting idea i want to explore in the near future...
It's definitely different, huh?
Well, for me, i guess.
I finished up 14.5 pages out of 26 in the kid's book, so almost there.
Leaving for Hawaii in less than a week!
Wooot, woot! i hope you're doing wonderful!

Edit:
As Requested i added this Picture to my Etsy Store

The Character Sketchbook 50 and 51

Well friends, i'm sitting here yawning and thinking back on the day.
It's over for me, but for most of you,
you're getting up and your day is just beginning...
i'm so ready for bed. Lately, i've been pretty tired,
i think it's normal, just been working hard.
i bought a pile of wood yesterday to use as convases! i'm excited.

Thanks for all the kind comments on the last post.
I'm glad you like that picture.
A lot of you wanted to see the full painting,
so i decided to post a link to it.

It's wierd to think that drawing is from 2 years ago.

Well, i hope you like it! :)

Water Color and Figure Drawing

How are you all doing?
Well, the post today is a water color sketch i did when i was practicing my figure drawing.
The paint texture turned out pretty crazy.
I try to keep my figure drawing off this site,
but i couldn't resist posting this one,
so i just cropped it down.
It is the first water color sketch i've done in a long while....
whatcha think?

The Blue Eyed Girl

Hello, my friends!
Whatcha been up to?
Wow, thanks for all the lovely comments on the drawing of Lisa. :)
The drawing i'm posting today is one i did for a client,
but it wasn't exactly the art direction they were looking for, so i get to share it with you all.
i hope you like it. It was a blend of water color, ink, color pencil, and pen.
Are you getting excited for Fashion Week coming up?
Anyone going?
Well, i'm definitely excited to see what's coming out. :)
