Erte illustration board 2

This is my second board I did that was inspired by Ertes style of illustration, I like this board a lot better than the first one, as i like the close up and pose more. The hand and body shape on this board was definitely inspired by Ertes style of model. I like the contrast between the black dress and white jacket, and I like that I can draw my own designs how I like them to be drawn with Ertes style, quite flat but detailed solid thin black outlines.

Again the movement swirls on the black dress were inspired by how Ertes styles his black garments,

In the background I added a triangular border on the right side of my illustration. I got inspired by another of ertes illustrations for this and the reason I used triangles is to reflect the tribal trend that inspired me when creating my capsule collection.

I like this illustration board a lot better than the first one, and I am glad I used Erte's style of illustration as I think it reflects Noir well, there is a very strong presence and poise about Ertes illustrations and the strong style and glamour of noir matches this perfectly.
