More drawings of mine...

[olde_fashioned]

My second post of drawings that I've made. A small one this time, as I haven't had much time to draw recently, and that these were drawn after period fashion plates, out of library books, and I don't have any original images for comparisons. ;-)




This one came out kind of stripey from the scan, but it's a Regency-era dress in a blue-violet, and I did her hair in a style that's similar to the way I wear mine when I've had too much Jane Austen. ;-P


Pomona green this time -- which is basically period terminology for an ugly green! ;-P Her necklace is supposed to be coral; I copied it (again) from something I wear. When I'm designing costumes and such, sometimes I like to include something I own in the outfit.


I sketched this after an Ackermann's Repository fashion plate dated September 1, 1814. In the original, she was sitting by the sea with a telescope, presumably pining after her sweetheart who was away at sea. I changed the telescope to a book. After all, if one is going to do a lot of waiting, what better accompanyment than a good book?


I copied the above sketch (just in case!!) and then colored it. I have this in a frame by my dresser. Yes I know, isn't that awful?? But hey, I like it! ;-)

I suppose so. I guess part of me wants equal attention to both sides, and with just a put-my-foot-down response you don't get that as much.

My whole family shares our observations so I can be a bit outspoken. ^-^

Heheh.

Yes, I know what you mean. I don't like it when the bad guys are the heroes. I kind of think his character was supposed to be quiet and no-nonsense, so maybe they thought an iron response would indicate that? *shrugs*

Well, sometimes we do too, and I certainly would never be accused of lacking an opinion! But I don't always feel like explaining myself, when we disagree.

Okay, enough wondering. What, may I ask, is that lovely icon from? (here we go again -- it's probably something I've seen but am to stupid to recognize!!)

I suppose that makes sense.

I understand that. ;)

That lovely icon is my pride and joy. It's a stock icon, actually, so it isn't from a movie or anything, which makes it even more rare. *hugs it* (I'm probably the only person in the world who hugs their icons.)

Oh is it really? That explains why I've never really had a clue what it's from. Okay, now I feel better! ;-)

And you're not even remotely the only one who hugs their icons!! I'm especially fond of a couple of mine, so I know the feeling. ;-)
