First 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.

:bulletred:17th c. Dutch floral still-life paintings
:bulletred:Chinese theater/opera
:bulletred:the ridiculousness of the Romantic Era
:bulletred:The texture and color of poppy petals
:bulletred: Mid-16th century Italian portraiture

I think massive volume is something fashion has been missing for a while now. High fashion has it off and on, but everyday fashion is so boringly fitted and tailored.

I'm really enjoying the recent trend for puffy sleeves and bold shoulders...full sleeves are a delight! Too bad full skirts seem to have been relegated to the costume basket or, as you said, high fashion alone.

Gorgeous! :heart: I could immediately tell you got some of the inspiration from this for Renasaisance Italian portrature! The pose and the emotion is just straight from that era. I love this color series! :heart:
