Icon Illustration

I've been wanting to draw Lady Gaga for a while now, because she's become very iconic in pop culture... That, and I absolutely love her.  There's something magical about Gaga and how she presents herself to the public.  We don't know every hairy detail of her life, and the only time she's really in tabloids is when her fashion choices are making headlines.  I know a lot of people dislike her for her general weirdness, but equally there are people (myself included) who admire her because she is an artist.  She has a weird and wonderful mind, that comes up with insane visions which she can inevitably make realities in her AMAZING music videos.



I took me a while to find a picture that I wanted to draw from, mainly because I couldn't figure out how I wanted to portray her.  Gaga puts on so many different faces,that I could go in a million different directions, but I really wanted to capture the essence of her, and I think I did her justice...  I picked something classic, with old Hollywood glamour, and tried to work in her severity and whimsy in.
