Description
In my poll I pledged to myself that I'd break out of the norm and try something new. I actually haven't done a full-blown Art Nouveau-styled piece... ever, I think? I've also been itching to do some fashion illustrations.So what did my genius self do!? COMBO COMBO LEVEL UP!

Designs were inspired by my own wardrobe, things I'd love to own, and Spring2011 trends.

This illustration came out nicely done. I really like how you did the fashion dresses that they're wearing. The posing looks really good also!

middle girl is awesome, wish she was wearing a lacy bra that's peeking under her unbuttoned shirt, IMO.
But sadly, I think that their faces look really similar. It happens, I understand this, and I just wanted to bring a little attention to it. Anyways, as far as an art-nouveau piece: congrats! beautiful colours and the perfect amount of detail so you don't detract from the figures.

Thanks for the suggestion ^^ And yea, their faces came out a little too similar. Been working on that lately. Thanks for bringing it to my attention

Gorgeous style 
I love the colouring in this drawing, very art-nouveau, as you said

Thank you! I like somewhat elongated features, but I'm such a proportion-freak that I get all weirded out from super-stretched out models. I prefer to keep them believable.
Thank you for the kind words!

I really like this, but my only qualm is that in the first design, the pattern of the skirt doesn't match its flow. The polka dots are in a complete grid that doesn't match up with the fabric. Otherwise, I think it's lovely

Yea, it's a texture overlay. Thanks for pointing it out

This is amazing and your texture is awesome but there are two little things about the placement of your princess lines. On your first figure on the left the princess seamlines are too long and a little too far apart. You always stop about two inches (in full sized patterns) from the bust point or the widest point of the bust. The seamlines are also closer together on the body. This is a total nit-picky thing but i thought i'd share it.

Wow, I didn't know about that! I'm not an actual seamstress, I just like drawing cool clothes lol
I will definitely keep that in mind! Thanks for the info! Learn something new everday

Lovely combination of art nouveau and fashion! Did you draw the characters in pencil and then scan them in, or did you draw them directly in your art program?
