Read on for the inside scoop on Coco:
F: How did you become a fashion illustrator?
C: I’ve worked with a lot of fashion designers in France and Belgium, helping them with communication, art direction and websites, working around image. I started to draw much later and a friend from a magazine once asked me if I could do a couple of illustrations for him. So I pretty much began producing illustrations as a favor to friends in the fashion industry who needed them for lookbooks, magazines and websites. I assume that’s the reason why I started to create more fashion images.
On the trail of this work, I began to receive media attention which has led me to create imagery for publications spanning both the independent and mainstream fashion press. Later still, a friend recommended that I do scarves so I started towork on my brand in parallel. Now I am a contributor for many magazines doing illustration for special beauty and fashion features and I still love it.
F: What is your favorite drawing medium and why?
C: I don’t have a favorite one. I love using different techniques. It is really a mix. I am constantly trying to experiment and merge classic techniques such as pencil, watercolor, pastels or Indian ink with digital processes. I then compose the final montages in Photoshop. I feel this kind of hybrid work offers me an opening onto a world of crossover possibilities.
I also love to experiment with different mediums for beauty and fashion features and I am also doing more and more collaborations with the design industry, so I am still discovering new techniques.
F: What motivates, inspires and influences you?
C: I love traveling, and I love my work, and I am fortunate enough to be able to combine the 2 of them. My motivation is to do great products, and collaborate with nice people around the world.I always learn with people I work with and for me it is a source of inspiration, to learn different techniques and appreciate different cultures.
F: How do you feel about sketching on Fashionary?
C: I loved it, especially the size of the sketch book and the paper. I draw a lot of silhouettes from shows to illustrate magazine features and I find this format perfectly suited for this kind of sketches. The illustrations are nicely contained and yet they are allowed to stand out in and out of themselves. It’s the perfect tool for capturing fashion’s fleeting essence.
F: What advice do you have for aspiring fashion illustrators?
C: The best is to follow your own calling and create your own style. Illustration is no longer just holding a pencil and so now there is a vast array of media to choose from which can help you accomplish your visions and create your own style.

Scott W Mason is a British fashion specializing mainly in illustration and photography, Scott likes to develop and experiment with new ways of combining these two art forms. Read on for the inside scoop on Scott:
How did you become a fashion illustrator?
I’ve drawn all my life and it’s developed through the years, starting off scribbling Poke’e’Mon, YuGiOh and Scooby Doo when I was younger and then an obsession with America’s Next Top Model meant my drawings started having much more of a fashion focus, as I was 15 and couldn’t afford to produce and shoot photoshoots like that so drawing was the easiest and cheapest replacement. It’s just grown from there, an ever growing obsession with fashion and drawing pretty things has lead me to this.
What does a typical day look like for you?
As soon as I wake up I normally check social media, makes me feel like I’m being slightly productive without having to get out the duvet, then once a blink begins to last less than 5 minutes I know I’m ready to actually get out of bed and start scribbling some ‘warm up’ sketches, after that I’ll check and respond to any emails then probably draw some more as I can’t seem to type more than 3 words without needing to doodle something. I’ll get on with commission work after some breakfast and just keep going until it’s finished, then draw some more to relax at the end of the day and go out and probably draw on the napkins in a restaurant, never really stops.
How do you feel about sketching on Fashionary?
I loved it, it was nice to just sketch whatever came out of your head instead of having the worry of proportions and pose in the back of your mind. The templates are so helpful for quick sketching yet so minimal they don’t impact the illustration at all, so definitely a must have for any designers or illustrators needing to sketch an idea quick, so convenient.
Which Fashionary products do you love the most and why?
It’s a mix between the paper panels and the mini sketchbook; the mini is so helpful to use out and about, not having to lug around a massive heavy sketchbook but just pop it in your pocket and crack it out quick if you’re on the tube or having a coffee. The paper panels are so pretty, I’m one for putting my work on the walls so it doesn’t carpet my room so being able to put up a concertina type piece with multiple designs on is great.
What are your goals for the future?
My friends take the mick but literally anything and everything; In the future I want to start my own magazine, start my own label, produce illustrated products and of course just more drawing, building my name up as much as possible so I get to draw each and every day and get paid for it ha.
