Jacqueline Bissett

Now i'm going to write about a London based fashion illustrator, Jacqueline Bissett. She was actually from a small town in Midlands. She was trained at England's Epsom School of Art and Design, which is located outside of London. She is getting used to draw with line weight and water-colour. She has been working with a big clients such as Givenchy, Selfridges, Kurt Geiger, Moet & Chandon, Rimmel, Samsung, and many others.

Most of her illustration are simple, but strong. We can see the it from the line that she apply and she can mix and match color pretty well into an illustration. From her illustration we also can say that she really has passion in illustrating and it also showing that she has been illustrating since she was sic a young age.

In one of her interview, she said she started to drew picture from a very early age. She was inspired from a fairy stories such as "Cinderella" and "The Princess and The Frog". She saw how the dress was drawn and then changing the designs.

She has always loved "playing around" with art materials. She love the contrast of flat color and brush strokes. She thinks that the line that she draw show confidence of how many years of illustrating.

Her advice for aspiring illustrators is we do not have to bother unless you are absolutely hardworking and determined to do well. It's a very competitive field she said. We have to be thick skinned to take the knocks and critism that inevitably one gets with hundreds of jobs. It is a wonderful career though.
