Fashion Illustrators-Natalia Sanabria





Natalia Sanabria is an illustrator.She was born in San Jose, Costa Rica.What made her drew to illustrations was it all started in art school.When she was in an art school,she was inspired with the models from the magazines and then she fell in love with every drawing she did.She started polishing her techniques and learn more techniques in rendering drawings.She believed that drawing allowed her to reflect her personality and emotions.To her perspective response,she feels that  Costa Rica is a colorful country.That is where she got her inspirations from to create beauty.This explains her colorful works that she had produced.She uses different sort of materials,textures and colors.Even though Natalia considered herself as a perfectionist,she also likes to embraced random materials such as torn paper,glitter and watercolor.She worked for NYLON Mexico,Caprocho magazine and also Loulou Grenelle.


 
The illustration above is one of the work from Natalia Sanabria.This is one of the work for NYLON Mexico.I love how she uses her fashion sense and techniques to create an artwork.With her style of work,which most of the models skin tone are dull.The only contrast I see is the headband.The colors that were used were all in pastel colors.She seemed to use torn pattern papers for the headband too.The line of the headband is not as straight compared to the one that is hand drawn nor painted.Th
is evident that she uses the technique to do her work.




The picture above is the second picture I am impressed with.I  love how she uses different kind of medium to do her work.She uses watercolor,pencil and also collage in some parts of the illustration.Apart from that,this work of hers is extremely extraordinary.The work is based on fashion.She uses bright colors for the garments and also accessories.It gives a contrast between the body parts and others.Nevertheless,this work of hers is unique due to the creativity she did on the  hair.Covering the faces with hair is unique.She made this,probably because she wants the garments and accessories to stand out more than others.


This picture above is really kiddy kind of work and Natalia is also inspired by  barbie dolls.I see pattern paper that were pasted at the right hand of the illustration.Her work are more into collage.She uses water color,pencil,color pencils and also,pen to do this.I like how she mix media the work.The contrast of the eye of the right hand person is really interesting because the make up reminds me of  Japanese make up it also reminds me of the character of the hunger games Effie Trinket the escort of District 12.The make up is similar to the lady on the right but the make up here is really simple compared to Effie Trinket

 .Nevertheless Natalia works are really unique and interesting as she uses different kind of mediums,techniques and also materials.Her inspirations are things that is around her.I am also amazed how she uses the smallest thing people thought could throw be in an artwork.Her techniques and ideas are exceptionally inspiring.
