Artist's Comments

Meg White as seen in the July 2007 issue of Nylon magazine (page 77). Jack was in the picture too, but I wanted to draw Meg only. Sorry Jack, maybe next time. :D

This was a practice drawing, a study of colour, shade and light, which I'm still learning to understand. I used Tria markers and texture pattern - [link] in my gallery.

I've never read Nylon magazine before, so on a whim I picked it up. It claims to be "The international music issue," but I really only chose it for the cover feature (The White Stripes!) and the interesting photos inside.

Question: Would you consider this fan art? I would have put it in that category, but there was nothing for "people" or "music."

mmm mixed media == much much love!

Her dress is drawn so well! And her form is so strong. She really has natural look and I love how much "weight" her pressence has. Awesome background textures, too! Her shoes are so adorable, I love how bright they are!

Thank-you! She had really great poses in the magazine spread, it was hard to chose which one to draw. I'll probably do more of them, it's too hard to resist. I really enjoyed doing this picture, Meg is so captivating.

I coloured Meg first and then went onto the background, where I stalled, trying to figure out whether I would add the grass in the field. I don't have a wide variety of greens, so I decided on the treeline only, and hoped that the white field would carry the picture.

Her red shoes remind me of the Wizard of Oz!

:invisible: Fair skin is refreshing. It's my favourite to colour, maybe because I am very fair-skinned too. :#1:

This is incredibly lovely. The tones are translucent and light, but somehow solid at the same time. The slight meatiness on the arms and the legs are so nicely done. And the knees. I love the knees.
