Description
Magnolia is part of a series of experimental fashion illustrations that I will be creating these days. I have been waiting for a while to have spare time to do this project so I hope it turns out very productive. This illustration is also my first vector, so it was really hard for me to try to learn a new program from scratch. Luckily, the internet comunity and dA users are quite helpful and kind to answer my questions every now and then, so I can overcome when I get too stuck using the new tools .

Well, regarding the illustration itself, I tried to be a little experimental and use large amount of plain colours, and at the same time a little texture on the yellow flowers , and be stronger in the details of the jewlry and the hair curls, while still trying to achieve a classical aesthethic.
I still have a lot to learn regarding fashion illustration and vectors, so critique is more than welcomed!

tools: traditional tools for sketch, adobe illustrator cs5 and adobe photoshop (to adjust levels of texture).

EDIT: Retouched the face a little, changed background colors.
