Second in a series of three: I realized that I have a set of prismacolor markers that are just drying out because I've always been a little afraid of them. I also have a tendency to use muted, toned-down tones, and I wanted to force myself to use bright, pure colors.
I pull my clothing and costume design from a bajillion sources that are just sort of a jumble in my head; so I tried to keep note of inspirations behind each outfit, in case anyone finds that sort of thing interesting:

Ribbon Corsets (especially
THIS one)

Barrel-cut sleeves a la
Madeleine Vionnet
The way kimono sleeves bunch up when
tied out of the way with tasuki
Rockabilly

Architectural hairstyles


Seriously though, I like this one, too. My favorite elements of this picture have to be her hair and ribbons. There's such a sense of fluidity here...
