Amelia’s Compendium of Fashion Illustration
What now seems yonks ago, I attended the launch of the Amelia’s Compendium of Fashion Illustration book, from the same Amelia that brought you Amelia’s Magazine. I mentioned a few posts ago how the event inspired me to get my watercolours out and give it a go. Well I received my ‘live illustration’ through from the talented Jenny Robins who painted me in less than 5 minutes and can safely say it’s a whole lot better than I could ever do! By the looks of it she even picked up on the fact my eyebrows need doing..oops.
Now I’m not normally into posting about events – companies worth millions don’t really need any help from little ol’ me (despite their trying) but when there is creativity involved and a bunch of lovely people to go along with it, I’m there. I scoffed scones whilst catching up with friends and flipping through the main attraction – the book. I’m definitely the kind of person that buys a pretty book full of illustrations, only to flip through once and never again, so I think I’ll save my pennies for a while! I urge you to take a peek though – it really is a must for anybody interested in fashion illustration. x
So pretty!!
Geeze, Carrie these ar gorgeous! Love the action shots of her painting and the closeups. Really stunning. xx
These illustrations are just fantastic!

Oh so lovely. There’s a great exhibition on at the Design Museum at the moment on the role of fashion illustration through the years – I went in the New Year and it was fab.. you should check it out if you’re into that!

Very cool! Makes me want to sketch again (it’s been a really long time!)
Wow, her illustrations are absolutely gorgeous, I need to get my hands on the book xo
Amazing, I haven’t picked up a paint brush really since A level. I so should!! Love that beautiful watercolour of you!
Love it, what a nice work !
(and this book looks sooo great… Maybe that’s one of my biggest and unmakeable dream; to publish a fashion illustration book !)
The artwork is just stunning xoxo
wow, seems like everything you touch becomes beautiful
Gorgeous! The last image (of the girl with the top knot) looks incredible. Wish I could paint like that!

Hi, Carrie! What a great post!
I love watercolors, which you can probably tell by the first look at my blog and I spend a lot of time painting, as well. This is one of the reasons why I adore WishWishWish, too. Your watercolors are simply amazing, and they go very well with the style of your photographs. You have a great taste for these things, and I’m glad you’ve posted about this event. As for the portrait, it looks very much like you, especially if you look at the face expression, very dreamy and mindful at the same time=) Great brows, too;)
Kind wishes,
Antonia
lovely illustration of you! do you know where I could purchase this book from? I’m very interested in buying it

I’m new in here, but I really liked your site, congrats!
I think watercolours are so underrated and wish more illustrators would use them. It must be a blast to see a drawing version of yourself
Cool post!
The illustration is so amazing! Can’t believe it was finished in just 5 minutes! ^^
