Description I sketched out this magazine cover kinda pose for Amanda (even I get a lil sick of drawing all guys, don't'cha know) and was on the verge of trashing it for lack of clothing ideas, when it all resolved itself decently. I'm a girl, so I can apparently do this kinda thing without being sexist

Anyhow, an Amanda take on... er, businesswear? Tassle on the knee because they're like... loafer-boots *laughs* The pants kicked my ass.

This is great! I wish I could pull off an outfit like that. I really love it. It looks like you had fun with this one. The pinstripes definitely make the suit. And the loafer boots! So original.

I have to say, I love her idea of business attire. ; Very good outfit design and very well rendered.

ren52 [2003-12-05 02:30:24 +0000 UTC]

That is one snazzy outfit, pinstriping is a BITCH to do right!! Looks great! I love her quirky pose and the way everything looks.... SHARP. Like her hair, the corners/cuffs of her clothes, the striping.. all very angular and geometric, which is neat because women are usually all round and curvy so I think it makes a really neat visual effect with her form.

Oh wow. I love the pinstripes and the boots and how you do the folds and her makeup and hair and just... wow. Yay for messin' with business suits!

And yes, we girls can draw this stuff without being sexist. Go us.

Woo pinstripe buisness wear, Ha I love the loafer boots,
the belt hung on the hip is very trendy and her hair is perfect.
The lipstick is very amadala and eyeshadow is shaded lovely.
Your pencils always have professional quality about them
(as well as all your other work) really great job

Now that is one helluva way to work. I don't know what part I like best... The hair? The boots? The toppings?

Well, one way or another, it definitely does have that magazine cover look you were going for. And hot damn, does Amanda ever pull it off nicely. Where you got the patience to do every single fold and wrinkle so perfectly is beyond me, but it's gorgeous. A definite +fav, because well, besides thinking that'd be fun to do myself some time, it's just so wonderful all around.

I'm so glad to have you on my watch.

I like how you tackled the pinstripes! I really admire your touch with clothing. Is it as easy and natural to draw as you make it look?
