I was sick of trying to "explicate" poems for my god-awful english teacher a couple of days ago, so I took out 9 Heads by Nancy Riegelman (an AMAZING fashion illustration book that has the power to turn anyone into a good artist.) Next to me I had the February issue of W magazine, which is my favorite magazine out of all the subscriptions I have. The cover features Rooney Mara, the star of the Millennium Trilogy, or The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo. She is bloody, has jet black hair, lots of eyeliner, and a bazillion tattoos under her leather jacket. She looks dark, gothic, and edgy, but not in the trendy way. She looks edgy in a way that makes you think she's been like this forever, that somehow she was born with piercings on her face and tattoos on her back. Influenced by the cover photo, I began to sketch my version of her look and fantasize about wearing it. So this is what I came up with. I haven't sketched since school started, but i'm trying to get back into it.
