Description The Emperor Gum Moth: [link]

The inspiration can be seen in the colours, markings, shape of skirt, and use of natural materials.

Shirt - Magenta cashmere turtleneck with dark brown leather piping.
Skirt - Cream and brown wool with dark brown, cream, and apricot leather detail.
Boots - brown leather with apricot leather detail.
Gloves - Apricot cashmere with cream fur trim.

Magenta makeup; hair styled to evoke fur.

Although it looked better in my head, I still kind of like it. What do you think?

your shading is getting better, but you need to work on putting movement into your fabric. have you tried coloring by hand?

Thanks. ^_^ And yes, I do need to show movement more.

I have tried colouring by hand, but I'm terrible and then my scanner ruins it (especially coloured pencils). For fashion designs I colour digitally, but for actual pieces I do use traditional media (usually pastels or watercolour).
