KØBENHAVN CHIKKE

Entitled "København"

Inspired by various sources about Danes and fashion, especially humongous scarves that consume you and high-tied hair buns. 

Mech pencil, moleskine paper and Photoshop.

KEEP THE 1400s ALIVE

Left: Original sketch on Moleskine paper Right: Photoshopped texture (pin light, soft light and mask)

Inspired by The White Queen and this bank of references:

  ^ Rebecca Ferguson as Queen Elizabeth (Elizabeth Woodville), Elizabeth Woodville (wife of King Edward IV), St. Eligius in his goldsmith workshop (detail) by Petrus Christus

^ One of my favourite dresses from the series, 

the scalloped sleeves and colour are amazing

SQUARES

One of my favourite artists, Kazimir Malevich.

I was playing around in Photoshop with square canvases one day and thought of Malevich's Suprematist paintings of squares (Black Square and White on White).

Top: White on Black & Black on White

Bottom: Using halftone brushes on lowered opacity to make the text still legible
