Daniel Roberts


        i found Daniel Roberts' fashion illustrations a while back and immediately bookmarked them intending to write a post about him, then forgot... so it was a really great surprise for me to stumble back across them in my bookmarks today! i love the way he takes modern fashion imagery and imposes his style on it. i just really love his drawing style... the faces are great, and the exaggerated necks and legs really appeal to me for some reason. fashion and illustrations... so good. i also like his use of color in a few of the pieces that are mostly black and white, with some parts colored in. (he also has a lot of drawings of gemma ward, who is my favorite model!)
        take a good look around his blog (use the site directory on the left) he has some REALLY cool things on there, like layered illustrations and window displays. his fashion illustration style also carries really well into his book illustrations. annnd, he has a whole page of images that have inspired him, which is beautiful in of itself. it's definitely worth taking the time to explore.
