Womxn in Skateboarding (would love your feedback!)
A portrait series highlighting the womxn trailblazers in skateboarding.
I've been a fan of Lizzie Armanto for years. She seems to be this enviable mix of aloof, chic and friendly all at the same time. But more than being just one of my favourite skaters, Lizzie has been a pioneer in the sport for over a decade.
She was the first woman to successfully complete the terrifying 'Loop of Death', the first woman to ever grace the cover of TransWorld magazine and is professional skater (with multiple pro-boards) with Tony Hawk's skate company, Birdhouse.
If you'd like to find out more about Lizzie, then check out her latest Vans video directed by Greg Hunt.
Drawing wise, I'm still playing around with different styles.
It seems I was influenced by the quirky line work of Jamie Hewlett (the co-creator of The Gorillaz) and the flat colours of artists such as Ichiro Tsuruta and Adrian Tomine.
Which skater should I draw next? Would love to hear your suggestions!
