Big Girl Fashion

This illustration is featured my article in the July edition of Largeincharge.com It is a vector piece that started with a pencil sketch. The article visits the topic of an individual's personal sense of style along with the importance of not allowing others to direct or define your fashion statement.

Plus Size Batgirl & Company by JNESS

Another Superhero entry, I guess it's safe to say there a great deal of comfort staying in the box. I do try and apply different techniques allowing me to visit the outside areas beyond the box. Plus Sized Batgirl making her big girl fashion statement while on a stakeout with Batman and Robin. There's always something happening on the roofrops of Gotham. I love creating fan art featuring my favorites.

BBW Superhero Red by JNESS

What I present to you this week is an exploration in sketch, but not as the means to a creative end. The sketch technique is applied here as the final goal. It's completely done in red ink to add visual impact. I found it tough to do because I had to force myself to stay with the one color and technique. I added some familiar heroes in the scene - Batman, Iron Man, and Ironfist. The star is the Plus size hero who represents no well known icon. I kept her generic. A fun piece to create overall. I hope  my visitors like it. It's definately a sidestep from my usual work.

BBW Love/ Cherish 2 by JNESS

I have decided to create a series that unlike my sets in the past will not share elements of color or design. Instead the content will be the only connection. I have had many men write me with words of celebration and encouragement for the plus size artwork I have produced over the years. They have been labeled FA’s fat appreciators, BBW lovers, chubby chasers just to name a few titles. The bottom line is that they (like me) have a healthy appreciation for the full figured woman. My thought process is to periodically create pieces that include them. The big girl admirer and his love. These will be the “Cherish” series. This is the second installment in this collection.

Big Girl Twister by JNESS

The illustration featured in this article is entitled TWISTED; it was an illustration challenge piece. It was created using alcohol based markers, color pencils, and ink. It started with one plus size woman gazing out her window at a tornado. As I continued to work on the sketch I added a few of her big beautiful friends. This led me to thinking about how tumultuous friendships can be...

Big Girl Relaxation by JNESS


The illustration I submit for your review this week is entitled, “Big Girl Relaxation”. I features a plus sized beauty enjoying the outdoors on a warm Spring day. This piece complete with bright colors is a reminder of how important it is to make time for yourself. Don’t make the mistake of waiting for others to bring happiness to your life and actually taking the time and investing into your own happiness and relaxation. It’s a valuable practice to play as hard as you work. Life has to be balanced and have a healthy mix of these extremes.

Curvacious Queens Logo by JNESS

This is one of my most enjoyable clients because she gives me a glimpse of her vision, walks away allowing her trust in my abilities and sense of design to accomplish what she wants. As a long running client I am no stranger to her brand or her style. I have illustrated book covers, icons and logos for her various projects. We have proven to be a great pairing creatively. During our meeting about the Curvacious Queens project the client admitted that the logo’s end use was still undecided. Fashion was a big possibility, so keeping that in mind I set out illustrate something that represented independent women on a stylish journey, hence the convertible.

Latina Gordita BBW by JNESS

The concept was developed in pencil sketch. Once I was satisfied with the sketch I inked the piece, then erased all sketch lines. I use a 3B pencil, they give me a nice dark line that is not difficult to erase. This helpful especially since I put down multiple sketch lines.

I then take the clean inked piece, scan it in, then redraw the piece in the vector format. Here I add color shading and highlights to get the look I am after.
