Live Illustration at Back Stage Nicole Miller for Chic Sketch

And……. We made it! 

The Chic Sketch Launch and Fashion week has come and gone and it was SUCH an amazing experience! I was asked to be one of the two guest Illustrators for The Style Line this season and what a ride it was! Getting to go backstage to all the shows, a back-to-back runway show schedule every day, rubbing elbows with top models, designers, makeup artists and hairstylists was super exciting and very cool.

Lily Qian (my fellow illustrator) and I were creating quick rough sketches to draw what we saw, as if we were visual journalists, capturing the beauty, the hair looks and of course, the FASHION!  I loved that we both had such different styles. What a privilege it was to be the first of the first eyeballs to see the collections and inspirations of these designers, before they even walk down the runway! It was truly one of my dreams come true!

I was also asked to live illustrate at two of the top shows for Chic Sketch at Nicole Miller and Noon By Noor. Such an amazing experience! The response that Chic Sketch is getting is incredible and we are so grateful for all those involved and all of you who have downloaded and LOVE the app!  You can download it here (link)

SO here I am, thankfully able to recoup today from the most insanely hectic week (that felt like a month, with all the planning involved!), collect my thoughts and rest my drawing arm. I must have drawn for like 40 hours straight this week and that is a lot! I am insanely grateful for the opportunities I’ve been presented with and all the opportunities and blessings that I know are to come.

In the eye of the storm, nothing else matters but getting the looks down, creating the art, being inspired and connecting with the fashion and beauty. It’s pretty cool, and that’s what I live for.

Hope my art can inspire you!
