recently, i have taken to drawing hair specifically Mucha-style. Art nouveau is awesome, and thus, Mucha hair. The following drawings trace my exploration of Mucha hair. Some are more intricate and developed than others (mostly owing to whether they were drawn on the train or in a stationary room)
this is a girl from fresno who recently got recruited to a production of cats: the musical. and thus, as a celebration, she gets a portrait in the form of a jellicle cat. how wonderful. done in a stationary room on printer paper with felt tips
this is a victorian whore. victorian whores are what i usually draw. even back int he days when i thought anime was lyk teh b3st thang evar, i drew victorian whores. they're not lolita dolls, they're victorian whores. ANYWAY, the point of this picture was just thinking about how useful a needle, thread and a few buttons would be to such a person. i mean, think of all the fabric! and the decorative bits! and such a person would hardly have a personal tailor! done in a stationary room on printer paper with felt tips
this is a mermaid. a young mermaid. not much else to it really, it's just a flouncy piece of flounce that results from a girly girl trying to think of something different to draw (mermaid? different? egads, how deluded can you be!). body and tail in a stationary room, hair and tail fins in train carriage, felt tips on art books paper (art book paper makes felt tips bleed lots, which is not cool in most circumstances, but seems to work for this)
obligatory pirate lassie. i grew up on a steady diet of gilbert and sullivan operettas on video (the video for pirates of penzance had to be replaced three times because i wore them out watching them so many times). done in felt tip on art paper in a stationary location (sitting on concrete outside, it's not a room, but it IS stationary)
and that is my exploration of Mucha hair, excuse the capitalisation discrepancies and the possibility that, through spelling error, i have been referring to office supplies rather than an inertial frame of reference
i've been sick lately, and when i was at my most vague point of most intense medication, i drew this. i think it just goes to show the potency of some prescription medicine. nevertheless, i do like the dress for some odd reason
some of you may be familiar with gaiaonline. anyway, on gaia, i have an avatar art shop and i do line art. why? because i am gobsmackingly awful at colouring in.this particular one was supposed to be an angsty piece of wangst, but, due to the unfortunate viewing angle, the dagger going through her chest is indistinguishable from the rest. oh. how. unfortunate. i don't like drawing angst, can you tell?
this is the same avatar, but with their online partner. i liked drawing this one, it felt cute at every stage. i really have to work on male expression though. female body expression, facial expression, fine! male...not so good with.
and these are my aforementioned crap colouring skills.
one of my friends got the role of otter in a theatrical production of wind in the willows. this is much the same sentiment at the top piece about jellicle cats, except, different person, different animal
the most recent abomination against humanity is this. the user who commissioned it wanted it to be sexy. tipping down your glasses at someone is sexy to me. i just added the boobs for good measure.
