So what did everyone think of the first wardrobe sheet? I liked drawing all the fussy details and I hope you all enjoyed it, too. That's why I decided to keep these black & white this year - there's no way I could have drawn all the details on every set AND colored them and posted them on schedule.

Today's set is based on this fashion plate from 1876. Because these dolls are so starkly front facing, much of the awesome details I liked about my source material kind of get scrapped. Oh well. I like the pleats on both sets as a bit of a unifying element.
If I ever get around to coloring all of these, I'll go with a limited palette for maximum mix and match options. If you're coloring at home, you might want to experiment with that, too! And for more fashions, come back on December 7th!
I love the pleats! I agree that the 1870s are a tough era to draw from the front.
ReplyDeleteI would like to draw a doll in profile sometime so I can draw all of the elaborate & unreal dress shapes through history! Maybe next year :)
