Ms. Del Ray has become quite a hot commodity as of late, the album may be wanting for some life and soul but you have to admit that girl's stylist has style. I predict everyone will be wearing bouquets of flowers in their hair very soon (its spring now don't you know). Anyway this is an illustration I have been working on since I saw the cover for her EP 'video-games' I have been chomping at the bit to draw those bee stung (allegedly false but oh so fab) lips of hers.

Using the EP cover as a guide I doodled her, after getting serious I started again drew the outlines in ink, brought into illustrator, cleaned up some lines, printed out, filled in finer details (hair, flower petals, shading) with pitt pens and black biro and some sharpie and then water colours, scanned in again, cleaned up the tones, added some background and voila!
