Illustration Friday: “Fierce!”

Says Christian Siriano, winner of Project Runway, Season 4.
Highly skilled, talented, creative, blah, blah, blah, Christian’s sass and strong design sense made him a standout constestant. He’s the youngest winner so far on the popular American reality TV show.
I’ve watched Project Runway since it began. Season 1 and 4 are my favorites. I love watching the designers execute their ideas from start to finish. It’s not so different from illustrating– processing and problem-solving, that is.
This is my first Illustration Friday illo in months. I had fun creating this piece but I stayed up late (again). I drew it by hand with a brush-pen and touched it up digitally. I toyed around with other colors but found that lavender and black worked quite well for Christian. Whatcha think?
