She is also an Art Director with a creative brilliant knowledge and skills to detail which ensure that not only does the job gets finished, also the way and final output with catch the attention of everyone's eyes.
Some of Kelly's illustrations are based on reference one. "If I make things up I never really feel that it looks as realistic as if I work from reference imagery, I am also not that skilled when it comes to perspective, so I find having a reference helps me to visualise the correct directions of lines, etc." - Kelly Thompson replied one out of her fans' question.
I can just tell that the jackets would be so weighty and thick and the silks perfectly smooth and bliss to wear. The way it combine clean shapes with pretty clashing pattern and texture. Then it is completed with gateway luxury hunting down accessories.
Most of her illustrations are more focused on the face's expressions. For instance like for the pictures above, she has her illustrations done in a make-up way rather than has more focus in the dress. The way she applies make-up onto it illustrate or define the sense we get. Like for the first picture, it gives a femininity and timid sense. As for the other one, it gives more of confidence yet gorgeous sense.
