High-res (Faber Castell watercolor pencils, Rembrant soft pastels) This week I was working on some illustrations of Elza Luijendijk, as I said on my previous post Elza is my new love! I used a beautiful photo as reference from Dazed & Confused editorial.Elza Luijendijk is the former Prada exclusive who has walked for Balenciaga, Givenchy, Miu Miu, Hakaan, Alexander McQueen and Yves Saint Laurent – and has made a serious impact as the face of Versace’s A/W12 campaign, photographed by Mert & Marcus. In Dazed’s June issue, Elza is overwhelmed by butterflies as part of Ben Toms and Robbie Spencer’s atmospheric shoot, each hand applied by Belgian make-up artist (emphasis on the artist) Peter Philips, known for his hyper-romantic and embellished take on beauty. Dazed Digital: What 5 things would you take into outer space? Elza Luijendijk:1. My friends. 2. My family. 3. My heels. 4/5. A photographer and his camera. DD: Where is your favourite place on earth? Elza Luijendijk: Lanzarote, because it’s always hot and sunny and it’s such a beautiful island! I hope I get to shoot in Lanzarote at least once! DD: How was the shoot you did for the issue with Robbie Spencer and Ben Toms? Do you have a favourite memory from it? Elza Luijendijk: The shoot was amazing! I loved the team and I loved the butterflies! DD: What’s been the greatest thing that’s happened to you since you started modelling? Elza Luijendijk: So many great things have happened! I met my best friend, who is also a model. And I met so many amazing people! I have enjoyed every model moment in my life so far! Working with creative people, walking huge shows, shooting beautiful editorials. DD: Tell us something we wouldn’t expect of you… Elza Luijendijk: I love to design clothes. I like to design bags and shoes and I also love to customize clothes!

Update!

Since I got my new full time job, I don’t have so much time to draw and update this blog! (I’m actually writing this while at work)  
I think I need some time to adjust and then I’ll be back on track. Yesterday(Sunday) I did two portraits of Elza Luijendijk, she’s my new love you see, I love her look, those big blue eyes ahh and how she transforms in every image! I first saw her at the Prada Fall/Winter 2012 advertising campaign, haven’t seen it??? You should:
