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! ;-)

LOL! Thank you! And I think you're right about her arms/hands being a little long...but that's better than short and stubby, right? ;-P
