Fernando Vicente is such a talented, versatile illustrator that it would probably take ten posts on The Lounge to cover his abilities. But to summarise, he specialises in fashion illustration, children’s illustration, pin-ups, technical illustrations, maps and caricatures. Some of his finest work depicts pin-up girls with segments of their inner anatomy displayed. Visit his website, or alternatively his Behance page to see more.

Yasunari Awazu is a Tokyo-based fashion illustrator. Beginning her career in 2008, she has exhibited her work twice including a solo Exhibition in 2010, titled Yasunari Awazu Presense. With a host of clients, including magazines FRaU, VOCE, domani, and department stores Seibu, and Sogo. Awazu’s work is very poetic, letting the brush run free on the page and leaving in colour bleeds and splats. I think I am much more taken by her looser style than when she tightens ups, but both are equally skilled. You can see more of Awazu’s work on her website.
