Christina Koutsospyrou - Illustrator

[Estella*]

as always i am most impressed by the ones that are most abstract ....
(i cannot tell anyone how sick i am of those stereotype-fashion faces à la antonio)

i think she really has a nice feeling for lines and balance

By the way, her name is greek so I guess she is greek too

She reminds me a lot of kristian russell, but a bit more feminine... i just did a search and saw you posted him, too, estella .
Danke!

p.s. i also like the antonio faces

 

[piep]

i meant even

 

[Estella*]

^ yes i guess i'm quite alone there, nevermind ...

and you're very welcome!

 

[piep]

Do you meant alone here posting? well, i really appreciate to have found here someone as illu-addicted ( not to say even more) than me

 

[Estella*]

i meant alone in dis-liking this kind of faces ... i always have issues with faces in fashion illustration they tend to be extremely stereotyped with a touch of akwardness, i only like berthoud's faces and i think i cherish gustafson ever so much because he spares me

but, yay, i'm very happy to have you here, piep, you are very talented and this forum surely deserves more traffic

lol! i like antonio for being antonio, faces and all, but i have to admit that his 80ies stuff gives me goosebumps, and not in a good way. i know what you mean abou the faces, but imo sadly it reflects the kind of look also some models have, like deers in the headlights. i am for more expression - or no face at all is also a possibility.

thanks i posted a berthoud for you
