aldraws fashion digital illustration singapore italy belgium

I come from a town nestled between Florence North hills and the Appenin mountains and it’s not an exaggeration to say I used to hate living there. I used to hate living in Italy in general.

Random fashion illustration #4: Aquazzura shoes (reprise)

August 12, 2016
aldraws Al Draws Alessia Landi fashion illustration watercolor pineapple heels shoes sandals aquazzura pina colada

Because I can never stop drawing Aquazzura shoes, they’re simply perfect in shape and design. Because I’m still dreaming that one day I’ll be able to afford one pair *hope springs eternal* Because I was in a yellow period (in my illustration I often have color obsessions for a while… Like, this was from my yellow and blue period from a couple of weeks ago.
