Antoinette Fleur

She's a French fashion illustrator who uses felt tip coloured pens as her principal medium. Her work is beautiful, and this drawing of Nicole Kidman particularly caught my eye in her series of portraits.  There's an urgency about her sketches, yet they seem so elegant and full of life, due to the rainbow selection of colours I'm sure. It somehow makes the image of the character seem more personal. They remind you how felt tips work, as sometimes they are so easily struck aside as a tool for children. Yet Fleur (such an appropriate name for an artist producing work of this calibre may I add) manages to make it the perfect technique for this style of illustration. 






















Another: Brigitte Bardot
It's a skill nonetheless.
