Ways to Work with Me
What kind of Fashion Illustration does Zoe Parker Illustration provide?
Quick sketches (10-20 minutes) or sustained studies (30minutes plus) for magazines, publishers, lookbooks, designers, fashion houses, brands, private clients, educators, collectors, galleries.
What materials does Zoe Parker Illustration use?
For quick sketches I use a fineliner pen and Promarkers for filling in colour. My favourite materials are Winsor and Newton Brush pen Promarkers, or those with a chisel tip. For finishing touches I use a Uniball Eye fine outliner, and a white gel pen.
For sustained work I use watercolours and coloured pencils for details.
I also use a combination of Photoshop and Procreate for digital work.
What are good uses for quick sketches?
My quick sketches are perfect for showing off a garment from different angles. I don’t copy poses from photographs, I scrutinise the garment. I have a background in Fashion and Textile design and I am able to see how clothes might look from all angles.
Also, my experience of teaching Art, and of studying life drawing, means that I am skilled at drawing anatomy for convincing poses.
I can make your garments, or features, look super-cool with a dynamic pose! Great for impressing clients and making the pages of your publication look sumptuous.
Why might I need more detailed, sustained drawings?
My more detailed drawings are the perfect accompaniment to a storyline or editorial feature. I am skilled at putting words and pictures together (again my teaching experience comes in handy!) and my heightened imagination means that I can create an image from a unique perspective. Ideal if you need your words or descriptive pieces bringing to life.
My illustrations look beautiful as decorative features adorning the walls in high-end shops, as well as when published in luxury magazines. They also look great when accompanying online magazine features.
What if I LOVE Zoe Parker’s Illustrations but I don’t need them just yet?
Just let me know, via the contact form or email. It’s lovely to let someone know that you like their work. Let’s keep in touch, we can have a chat about ideas and who knows what might bloom?
What is the cost?
Prices vary, as all illustration jobs are so different. I am happy to discuss budgets.
