Hiroshi Tanabe picture – picture 1 - appendix
I got this picture from ‘Fashion Illustration Now’ by Laird Borrelli (picture 1 in the appendix is also from the same book but couldn't be scanned in or found on the internet). This is one of favourite fashion books as it has a range of different styles of drawing from ink to graphic.
I have always been inspired by the work of Hiroshi Tanabe. His work is fashion illustration but with a graphic twist – it more likes anime than the usual drawings in fashion illustrations. Some people have even compared his art to japanese wood carvings. These out of them all are my favourites. I love the colours, even though they are dark and there are only two used, it gives the picture its edge and makes them eye catching. I love the simple use of lines to make the picture come alive on the page. This picture proves that fashion and graffiti can be link together and have a lot of similarities between art and graffiti.
