Iconic Women - Madonna

This morning I posted an updated (unfinished) image of this illustration. Well after a few hours work here is the final piece!

I chose the quote "Sometimes you have to be a bitch to get things done" because Madonna is fighter and fights for position in the pop industry hence the boxing ring scenario, so I thought the quote went well with the tough image I am trying to portray in the illustration. Let me know what you think!

Iconic Women - Madonna Update

Hello readers about a week ago I think I showed you the beginnings of my illustration of Madonna for my Iconic Women Project. Here is how it stands at the moment.

I am very happy with how it is going it almost has a graphic novel feel about it! I almost finished I just need to add the typography and finish the background and ropes. Let me know what you think so far and I will update the finished illustration soon!

Iconic Women - Madonna Working Progress

Hello I am currently extremely busy hence the lack of updates with my Iconic Women Project. I am currently sifting through a 4000 word essay and will be handing in a 3000 word essay next week! But I thought I would show my lovely readers my working progress through the Madonna Illustration. So here is what I have done so far:

So as you can see this is a very rough start to the illustration! I need to clean up the lines and add more line detail and then colour and shading. I chose this stance for Madonna because she a fighter and fights for her position in the pop industry by always re-inventing herself. I am still looking for a quote to go with the illustration....so any suggestions would be very welcome!

Iconic Women - Twiggy

Here is my fourth installment for my Iconic Women project. This is of the gorgeous twiggy in her iconic 60's look. The quote from Twiggy is really interesting she says "It's not what you'd call a figure is it?" considering that Twiggy was such a muse in the 60's for numerous fashion designers I found this quote a nice opposite to go with the iconic model image she portrays.

Iconic Women - Marilyn Monroe

I have been on a bit of whirl today and completed two illustrations out of the five Iconic Women illustrations I am currently doing. This is the third installment and it is of Marilyn Monroe a woman that men drooled over. I found this interesting quote by the lady herself and I think it contrasts well with her sensual image.

Iconic Women - Coco Chanel

Here is my second installment for my Iconic Women Project. It is of the wonderful Coco Chanel a very inspirational lady.

Iconic Women

I have recently decided to embark on a new illustration project called iconic women. I completed the first drawing to day of Audrey Hepburn who is absolutely beautiful and a true icon. I plan to do others of Coco Chanel, Marilyn Monroe, Twiggy and Madonna.

I really wanted to experiment with typography within my illustrations because this is something I usually avoid! I decided to incorporate a famous quote by Audrey Hepburn and I am very pleased with the result! Stand by for more updates!
