Fashion Face- Playful 1950

Looking at the 1950 style, i was most drawn to the American diner, fun casual style for the beach, which would be best suited to the kitsch style.This made me think of head scarfs and oversized cat eye sunglasses.  Bleach blonde or a pastel pink hair would give a contemporary twist to my illustrations. However i still wanted the classic hollywood bold red lips and winged eye liner. Im looking to show a sexy but cheeky female that likes the quirky kitsch in an ironic way.

The drawing to the left was my first idea, just playing around and drawing i liked the sleek curly fringe with the head scarf as i think it fits the concept theme well. However didn't quite have that 'fashion face'  so i drew up some other ideas and came to the drawing on the right. I feel this is much better with the cheeky wink face. More illustrations to come this is just an initial drawing up of ideas
