Sunny Gu - Amazing fashion illustrator

Los Angeles-based fashion illustrator and graphic designer Sunny Gu  has some great illustrations in her portfolio. Most of her work is painted in watercolor with occasional use of graphite and acrylic paint. Full of vibrant color and flowers, her illustrations are rich in details and filled with happy feelings.Her work is an endless journey for beauty ,value, truth and herself.Sunny Gu was born and raised in China but later relocated to the United States when she was 13. Painting and drawing had claimed part of her life from a young age starting as a hobby. As she grew she encountered people from various of backgrounds, this triggered her curiosity for other cultures. Sunny explained "I learned to observe and discover beauties in everything around me. I wanted to find a way to capture and preserve the beauty that I see, the kindness that I feel and recreate them in some way" Living in the United States in Alhambra, which is positioned near Los Angeles or the pacific coast she always has an insight of fashionistas and their good sense of style. "It is always very sunny and warm in California, it is like Spring/ Summer all season! Yes I have definitely gained fashion influence here, and I tend to illustrate people wearing sunglasses and bright/tropical themed outfits."
Her runway illustration is always so flawless to a point that she can capture all the flavours of a collection. On the same note, her editorial one also captures the essence of the collection, but in a more playful and creative way.Hope you like it!
