This is one of my new drawing. I made it a couple of days ago. I am almost done with my pretty outfit series. I also have guy costumes as well, in addition to costumes worn by children. I normally do not find a lot for those two categories. I guess it is just a matter of preference or whatever. My sources normally focus on women as far as fashion is concerned. This is also true in modern days. Only women bother to keep up with the fashion nonsense. Despite having a pretty dress series, I do not keep up with fashion trends. As far as dresses are concerned, I only bother to draw outfits I find adorable. This is one of them. Despite looking simple, I like the little hat and the black shoes.
Kids should dress like the Victorian age more often. When I was small I used to wear a lot of cute outfits. They were dresses store in a big chest. In there, I saw all the wedding dresses of my grandmas and great grandmas. My mother used to air out the chest from time to time, to keep the dresses fresh. All that junk is gone now. When we left the country, my thieving uncle kept everything. We were just around the corner when he went into our house to loot everything. He is a lazy douche, as far as my mom tells it. Then again, I do not remember ever having a pleasant interaction with the fellow. Even when I was little, I was always avoiding the bastard.
I only had a prolonged interaction with him because I used to play with his daughter. She was actually two years my senior, but she was so small that I was always a head taller. We left the house to her in the deed. Who knows what became of it and of everything. I am not one to return to that place to find out. When I leave something behind, I always make certain to burn the bridge. No point in wondering or even thinking about the past. My only priority at the moment is doing my little art projects. When I write about the past, I do it with emotional detachment. It is like when you talk about a bad movie or something like it.
I am not the fellow from back then. As far as I am concerned, I will never be that fellow ever again, God be willing. My past was already passed. There is no point in performing ruminations about it. I am mostly a bit settled down at the moment. My brother bought a cute new game called Dragon Café. It took me a bit get started on the site because I was playing it. Lately, we have been playing fun games instead of hard games. A game need not focus on killing stuff in order to be good. This one is pretty good. The drawing itself was made with just a few art supplies. The skin color was made with lyra pencils. The others belong to Derwent and to Art 101. The beta version I made with Royal and Langnickel pencil. The fine lines were made with my Sakura Pigma Micron pen. The rest was complete with my Stabilo mini pens. The kid is wearing a costume from Britain circa 1805.
