Some Sketches

Helllooo!

I went and searched through my current and last sketchbook for the best designs. Here are the ones I have chosen(apologies i had to scan, tried to make them look as good as i could in photoshop) :

The dress in the middle of the bottom row is a masquerade ball costume, which I drew after designing the masquerade mask that I am currently making for school. I will show you the mask when its finished.
Making this mask all started when I saw a black and silver masquerade mask on holidays. I loved it and was reminded that I had to make a mask for art this year. So, after we were back I remembered and set about drawing and looking up anything to do with a masquerade ball. At some point I searched youtube and came across this scene from the phantom the opera (2004). I highly recommend that you watch it! The singing,dancing not to mention the costumes are astounding!


That's all from me for now!
