Description Day 28 of Sketchtember, sketch #20

As a theme I'm sketching young Japanese people modelling their street fashion, photographed for Japanese magazine "FRUiTS Magazine".
This is a great opportunity for me to train myself more, for instance:
*Draw on a daily basis, instead of whenever... 
*Dusting off my skills when it comes to observational drawing.
*Increasing my drawing speed. 

This trendy couple clearly shares the same point of fashion:   
The faces are maybe not entirely accurate but I was too tired to do anymore about it. Still, it was fun and rather easy to draw. 
Two days remain of this challenge!

Yocchi's hair . . . that must take a lot of product to make it stick up like that


Excellent work on both of them!

That hair is truly amazing and I can't imagine how much time he needs to get it to behave that way. I'm very lazy when it comes to doing my own hair: just brush it and if it's still not good, tie it into a ponytail...

Same here! My brother spent HOURS in front of a mirror every day to get his hair to stick up like Vanilla Ice (late eighties ) He's totally embarrassed by those pictures now.

Oh wow, that look was so popular! Yep, Vanilla Ice was definitely one of the culprits, but I also remember the characters Dylan and Brendan from Beverly Hills 90210 sporting the same hairdo. 
Always nice to see those embarrassing pictures of our childhood.

So true. Of course, I was guilty of getting that horrid poodle hair perm so I'm not completely out of the "horrible past trends" spot But I'm older and wiser now and not going to spend that much effort on my hair

I like how these two keep a consistent color scheme in their outfits. They're still pretty zany though. XD

It's a cow-inspired coordinated clothes couple.     

I just discovered this adorable Japanese couple who have been married for 37 years and wear matching outfits every day. They even have a Instagram page showcasing their outfit of the day. Not as zany as these young people but it's very cute.

Haha, wow, I wonder how they manage to coordinate their outfits every day like that. Did they have to hunt down enough men's and women's clothes that happened to match over time?

Thank you. My husband says I put much more work into my details than is needed for a sketch. The running gag this month is that he looks over my shoulder and calmly states "You did it again. That's not a sketch, that's a drawing..."
