Londoner Girl in a Cute Dress from the 1850
This is quite the cute little girl I drew. The pose I looked it up in the internet. I find poses online all the time. It is a bit of a shorthand since I don't have a brat to sketch from life. I could design unique poses, but I do not have the time to bother with it. There is only so many poses people can sport. Bizarre poses do not work well when showcasing dresses. The dress itself is nothing to expensive. I just like the cute lines and the polka dots in the socks. When I was small,...
French Dancer in Oriental Costume from the 1900s
This dancer was also part of the Salammbo paintings. Her outfit is an odd oriental and Hindu blend. The pattern of the skirt is my own design. It is nothing too out of the ordinary. It is better than nothing. The flowers also work just as well. The original Salammbo was said to be Carthaginian, which is a bit like a Roman. This maiden is neither Roman or Carthaginian. People did not care back then. All that matters is that the maiden looks adorable. These days people go crazy with being historically accurate. Some go a step further and even...
French Dancer Dressed as Salammbo from the 1880s
Salammbo was a fictional character based on a so called Historical novel. People lately take historical novels seriously. Most of the time, people just went to Wikipedia for a few minutes and then they spilled out a bestseller. People tend to be very foolish taking works of people with a diploma seriously. I actually caught the Dean of History of FIU in an error. He mistranslated the Iliad. I knew because I read the original book in Spanish, instead of in English. His translation made no sense and I called him on it to get an extra point. He was...
Little Girl in a Blue Dress 1880
This is a cute little drawing featuring a girl in a blue dress. It is a bit simple with patterns all about. It was just a little something simple I felt like drawing. It is very rare to see a proper lil kid drawing. Most children drawings and animations tend to look like little dwarves. Since they can't make them look realistic animators then lean towards cartoony children. It is a real mess. Meh, I got nothing else to ramble about. I also started using fine liner pens with black ink. This masks the pen a lot, especially in black...
German Lady 1560
It has been a while since I added a new drawing to the website. It is a bit dated, but I think it came out rather decent. Around the time I started these drawings, I was leaning towards the Japanese print drawing style. It is a bit vague in the reference. Basically, I only left the dresses color and the bodies were left in black and white. It worked well with the type of paper I was using. It was only recently I changed my style a bit. I am always looking for new methods and ways of drawings. Most...
