Irina Lazareanu is hands down one of my favorite models. She's got a rockstar sex appeal coupled with ballerina grace (she used to dance). Her personal style is quirky with a men's inspired flair. Love. Just love. 

So anywho, the ladies gracing the top of this blog are in fact inspired by a spread she did in Marie Claire. Tell me you remember this. 

Well, I was attracted to some images of her actually moving her lithe frame in a graceful way while wearing some beautiful clothes. I started the drawings with vine charcoal and then blew the pigments in the direction of her body. I even used a hair-dryer to blow ink in a similar fashion. Needless to say, they were fun to make. I hope you enjoy them.

Cheers lovely dears.
