Hey guys. I am sharing my newest digital drawing for the Sketchquest contest today. This piece was actually inspired by the 1996 movie Scream. I really liked the style of the character Tatum Riley played by Rose McGowan. She had this retro look that reminded me of the sixties but in a nineties way. I thought it would be interesting to try and capture that aesthetic.
I drew her in a bright orange mini skirt and a yellow green turtleneck with a black jacket. These colors are very bold and they really stood out to me when I was watching the movie. I wanted to show her in a regular moment, just carrying some shopping bags before all the chaos of the movie starts. It was a good exercise in character design and working with specific fashion eras.
I feel like I see a lot of different styles, but there is something special about the way people dressed in older films. It makes me want to look for more vintage references for my future drawings. I tried to keep the background simple so that the character and her outfit would be the main focus.
I am curious to hear what you think of this 90s throwback. Do you have a favorite movie character whose style you love. Good luck to everyone else entering the contest this week.
