Designer Talk

      Hey babes. I had this idea that I wanted to talk to you all as a designer rather than a blogger. I recently put some of my illustrations on my Facebook page. By the way! I set up my official House of Riegal Facebook page! Go like it and you'll get the latest on what's happening with my brand. Now, let's talk design. 
       
      Whenever I start an illustration, I always, always, ALWAYS start with the brow. With the past two seasons being all about the 'power brow' *cough cough Cara cough* I've started focusing on the brow. I've always felt it was really the anchor of the face. If you only have time for one element of makeup, FILL IN YOUR BROWS! It really frames the face and just balances everything out. If you look back through just about all of my past fashion shows, you'll see that every brow was well defined and strong. 

       Now back to the illustrations, it's become one of my favorite hobbies! I took my first (maybe last?) Fashion Illustration class this past quarter and LOVED it! I feel I really found my signature illustrating style. My dad was actually an Art Major waaaaaay back in the day when he went to college. I love being able to talk to him about styles and forms and drawings. Anyway, I have a few illustrations that were actually sent into FIT (along with an application, fingers crossed!). So without further ado, here are my favorite illustrations. 


Hope you enjoy them, let me know if you wanna see more!
And don't forget to like my Facebook page, House of Riegal!
