 I'm so excited to be featured in @voyagelamag as part of their Shoutout LA feature! Read about why I decided to leave corporate architecture behind to pursue my dream of becoming a fashion illustrator, the challenges I encounter in my career, and what I find incredibly rewarding in working with my clients HERE. Thanks for the Shoutout, VoyageLA! 🎨

Looking back at a lovely Ferragamo Rodeo Drive live fashion illustration event in Beverly Hills! I loved drawing on these gorgeous metallic silver cards, like drawing on glass, so smooth! 🖌🎨 And the magical Rodeo Drive at night sparkling full of lights ✨
FREE CALENDAR Cristina Tudor 2020 Fashion Illustration Calendar: September ‘Pink Feathers Girl’9/1/2020  Hi guys, I hope my September calendar, Pink Feathers Girl, finds you and your loved ones well and healthy. These hot temps in Los Angeles have me dreaming of summer colors like juicy pinks in a burst of hot pink feathers, and they inspired me to go all-out with lots of color! My inspiration for this month's calendar came from beauty @caitlinlawson__ surrounded by a whirlwind of neon pink feathers in a photo taken by @snapsstudio - not to mention the amazing makeup by @jenniferconejobeauty ! When inspiration strikes, a new painting emerges! Enjoy Pink Feathers Girl! xo Cristina PS - Didn’t get Pink Feathers Girl?

Watch my video of how I painted this month's calendar (Music: Waterfall by Aakash Gandhi):   Hi guys, I hope my August calendar, Summer Girl, finds you and your loved ones well and brings you an extra dose of sunshine with its pop of neon yellow. My inspiration for this month’s illustration came from the label Urban Zen by Donna Karan. With their beautiful designs and textures and their strong eco message and social conscience, they’re an old favorite revisited. I hope Summer Girl keeps you cool this hot August! xo Cristina PS - Didn’t get Summer Girl?

Hi guys, I hope my July calendar finds you well! I was inspired to paint this month’s calendar by the upcoming 4th of July and the Black Lives Matter movement. As I painted Independence Girl, my heart was full of hope that this 4th of July will mark the beginning of a newfound independence from bigotry and prejudice! My biggest wish is that now we will finally stop treating people differently simply based on the color of their skin. I hope that all the protests will be heard and we will FINALLY make the leap towards living as one race: the human race! I hope Independence Girl brightens up your days this month and brings you hope! xo Cristina PS - Didn’t get Independence Girl?

Hi guys, I hope June‘s calendar finds you well! In these uncertain and volatile times, I was inspired to paint this month’s calendar, Blooming Girl, by the many flowers in bloom around my neighborhood as I am taking my daily walks during quarantine. I hope she brightens up your day and brings you some much-needed joy! xo Cristina PS - Didn’t get Blooming Girl?

Hi guys, I received many requests to paint portraits with face masks on, and even though, oddly enough, some of my earlier work is of partially hidden faces peeking from behind hopeful symbols like flowers and stars, part of me rejects the idea of painting a masked face. I’m guessing this feeling is simply my resistance to this new reality as I am scrambling to adjust to this new ‘normal’ and trying to wrap my brain around this new reality that just sprung on us seemingly overnight. I feel at least 10 steps behind, and my emotions are a big jumble. And this part of me, the part scrambling to keep up, is rejecting the reality of what we are all facing, receiving a jolt with every new dose of this shocking new reality. But an even bigger part of me is moved to my core by the hope and love I see all around us, near and far. As hard as it is to wrap my brain around the eerie fact that e v e r y s i n g l e p e r s o n on this entire planet is strangely united by the same thing I am experiencing right now, the miracles of humans coming together move me to tears. So instead of trying to figure it all out right now, this very minute, I decided to let it be. I decided to be ok with having all these conflicting feelings and just put paint to paper … the result, Hearts Girl, is not masking, not hiding or concealing, but what I see as all-surrounding uplifting love for each and every one of us ... 💕 #wereinthistogether xo Cristina PS - Didn’t get Hearts Girl?

It’s pure perfection, love the fringe effect, and she looks so edgy and confident in it, amazing! The minute I saw her wearing it in InStyle Magazine I knew I had to paint her. So here she is, as a 36x48 fashion illustration - this is a FBF to one of my IGTV videos 🎨 I will be posting a painting video for you guys EVERY DAY during the week on IG @thecristinatudor Monday thru Friday - it’s our standing #PaintFlix art date to try to reduce our collective stress and anxiety and to bring some sense of normalcy and enjoyment into our lives.

No worries though, here’s the time lapse of what you guys saw live yesterday, my fashion illustration inspired by @karliekloss in this stunning gold sequin dress, this time without all the live feed interruptions - I figure it’s probably best if we stick to daily videos rather than going live for now 🎨 So I will still be painting something for you guys EVERY DAY during the week on my Instagram @thecristinatudor Monday thru Friday - it’s our standing #PaintFlix art date to try to reduce the stress and anxiety and to bring some sense of normalcy and enjoyment into our lives. Relax, sit back and watch me create with my brushes and paints! 👩🏻🎨 xo Cristina #ArtWillNotBeCanceled Hi guys, I hope my email finds you and yours well and healthy, even if stuck indoors and anxious for this rough patch to pass quickly. A lot has been put on hold in our lives at the moment. But art will not be canceled! 🎨 As we are spending more time indoors and experiencing increased anxiety during these difficult times, I would like to bring more joy and peace into all our daily lives with my artwork. Painting is so healing and relaxing for me, and I would love to share that feeling with you, to dream up new images together, to stay positive and strong and to focus on something that makes us all feel good! So, starting TOMORROW, March 18, 2020, I am expanding my live painting into the digital world as much as possible. I will do live painting sessions on Instagram @thecristinatudor every day during the week, which I am calling #PAINTFLIX - a hashtag I created almost 2 years ago (July 3, 2018 to be exact, ha!) when I was painting and watching Netflix ... Now it has become the one word I use to describe mixing my painting with live streaming ;) As I wish you well, I am inviting you, your kids, your friends and loved ones to meet me on Instagram every week day at 1 PM PST starting TOMORROW so we can paint together! 👩🏻🎨 Watch me paint in real time to relax, or even join in on the fun and paint along if you’d like!

My inspiration for this month’s calendar was spring daffodils, which are one of my fave flowers with their yellow star shapes and fragrant spring scent. Daffodils remind me of growing up in Bucharest, Romania, of early spring days when they would fight the last of winter and would burst through patches of snow. March 1 is a Romanian holiday called Martisor, a Valentine’s Day of sorts celebrating love. Boys would give their crushes special, cute little charms tied with red and white silk strings with one red and one white tassel at each end, and students would give them to their favorite teachers as a sign of caring. We would pin all the charms we received on our chests on our uniforms and wear them proudly all day in school, and sometimes for an entire week or two well into March. March 8 is also International Woman’s Day, celebrated widely throughout Europe, and I loved combining these two holidays and my memories of celebrating them in Daffodil Girl. I hope you enjoy her and she brings warm spring sunshine your way with her yellow daffodil starbursts. Didn’t get Daffodil Girl?
