On the Street……Spring Knocking, Paris

I love the color combination she has going on here. I wanted to play with texture and decided to break out my chalk pastel pencils. It’s been a while. (taralikespink)

On the Street……Just Off Vittorio St., Soa Paula

I started off drawing her on a smaller scale, and I wasn’t liking how it was turning out. That’s when I started fooling around and drawing her on a bigger scale, and this is what happened. (taralikespink)

On the Street……Chinatown, NYC.

I knew a month ago when I saw this that I wanted to change the top of her jacket into a bear, but I never thought it would take me into the realm of fantasy with fire and ice. In the end, I really wanted to portray her as a soul trapped within the bear, whose rage was consuming her beauty, commanding her to destroy the ones she loved.

On the Street …. Red & Blue, NYC

I like to practice drawing croquis, and I thought the expression on this woman’s face was adorable. I was really excited to see that she had a feather on her hat!

On the Street……Sixth Ave., NYC.

He reminded me of Frodo, but he ended up as a deformed Jermaine from FotC. Still, I had fun with the color palettes and lines. By accident, I was erasing everything at 25% and I sort of like it now. It helps me remember my mistakes and keeps them in the painting.

On the Street……Bold On Sixth Ave., NYC.

I imagined her falling through water, her scarf heating the ocean around her and setting it ablaze. In a way, she also reminded me of Carmen San Diego with her beauty and mystery. I was playing with shapes here and really wanted to stick to just the rounded brush. A headache set in half way through, some Ratatat came on, I napped, I finished, and here we are. This was Wednesday’s sketch.

On The Street … Urban Camouflage, Paris.

When I first saw this, he seemed to be looking down at the puddle like it was beneath him, which makes sense since it is a puddle, but I suddenly imagined he’d give the same look to a begger, flashing a smile, but wanting the world to know his greatness. All the while his outfit wants to escape to a better place.

Accepting Other Artists!

Mon, 16 Feb 2009 23:49:18 -0600

I had a long thought about it, and this really should be about people drawing, being inspired by fashion, and bringing a community together. In lieu of that, I am making this blog a group blog. So anyone who wants to upload art they made that was inspired by TheSartorialist.com, shoot me an email at addme@thesartorialartist.com with your Tumblr member name.

The rules for submission are:

You must link to the permalink photograph that inspired you.
You must provide a concise, bold title in your description.
Briefly discuss the inspiration, techniques, and any external influences.
Check for any spelling and grammatical errors! (I will fix your posts!)

In the meantime, I’m going to try and get on the Tumblr Pro so I can let anyone submit, EatSleepDraw.com style!

TheSartorialArtist.com Gets A Design! And it looks eerily...

TheSartorialArtist.com Gets A Design!

And it looks eerily similar to the one from my main blog. It’s as if I got incredibly lazy and merely swapped out color palettes, scrubbed up some google images, and did a lot of rotating and scaling. Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain, muahahahaha.

On the Street……Layers of Grey, NYC. This photo...

On the Street……Layers of Grey, NYC.

This photo really inspired me because I loved the non-stop shades of greys and browns. Also, the model has a beautifully long neck and a hint of sea-green eyes that I could just fall into. The slight smirk, above it all, look on her face seals the deal in my book. It also gave me a chance to experiment with some charcoal brushes in my lines, and to stay really loose, not focusing on the details too much.

The Start Of TheSartorialArtist.com

Mon, 16 Feb 2009 00:44:00 -0600

If you follow my blog, KevinNuut.com, you’ll know that I’m a sucker for a few things, shoes, design, odd artwork, pandas, remixes, and fashion. And honestly, who is better at photographing fashion in the moment than TheSartorialist.com?

Furthermore, the constant fear of creating shitty artwork keeps me from drawing most nights, and I need a conscious excuse to keep me practicing. Instead of just drawing naked people or apples, I’m far more interested in how people wear fabric and understanding color palettes.

So with one stone in hand, and two birds on the horizon, I start this blog.

On The Street … Tricolor, Florence.

When I had the idea for this blog, this was the photograph that fueled it. I loved the look on the man’s face, along with his pose, and toned down color palette. As I said in my personal blog, I’d love to look half as cool as this guy when I’m his age.
