Legs & Pantyhose

Another French artist I like: Malika Favre

Aaand here’s another drawing that started out with me getting starry-eyed over some shoes. I swear it’s not an addiction.

I miss having a pair of Doc Martens. I haven’t owned any since my mildly pretentious yet endearingly angsty goth punk days of yore. ☠️ I think past me would be scandalised to see I’ve swapped out all black for pastels and pinks. Ah, how times have changed!

All this down time has had me thinking about the kind of illustration I love doing. Mostly I’ve discovered that (surprise, surpise) my attention span is not cut out for things that take massive amounts of time. Rendering in detail is hell for me, and my favourite part of the creative process is the beginning — when you have something in your head, and you slap down shapes and colours trying to get that idea down.

This is a little experiment that springs out of that. I’m simplifying my colour palettes and cutting out all the stuff I don’t think I need. Really digging how it turned out, so yeah, you’ll be seeing way more of this style! ✨

A crash course in looking fab when your nose is itchy AF and half your face is soaked in sweat. Anyone else wishing they could wear a little lipstick? (Kidding aside, stay safe, everyone! And as the old saying goes, wash yer damn hands! )

Walter Plunkett | Costume Sketch for “Gone With the Wind” | 1939⠀⠀

———⠀⠀

This sketch was designed for the character of Belle Watling, the good-natured madam of the Atlanta brothel, brilliantly played by Ona Munson in the most memorable role of her career. In order to further distance Watling from the “respectable” characters such as Melanie and Scarlett, Academy Award®-winner Plunkett designed a more garish wardrobe with brighter colors and brassy accoutrements. The costume shown here is not seen in the film and likely was one of many Plunkett masterpieces that landed on the cutting room floor. (via Bonhams)
