A Tale Of Two Sisters (2010)
Felt Pen, COPIC Markers
A4 per drawing
There isn't really a tale behind these two, except that they are rather much opposites, and I made use of the complementary colours, green and red, to show that despite their differences, they still are very close to each other as sisters.
The red dress makes use of a lot of volume and the contour lines I drew at the bottom are to suggest the sweeping movement of the skirt. I got my inspiration for the skirt from a cocoon---the way it is wrapped up so carefully in a distinctive shape. It is a off-shoulder dress that shows off some skin at the waist area. I would use chiffon and satin to make this dress.
The green dress is more flowy and it is a toga dress with a triangular hole at the back of the dress to show off the wearer's back nicely. A bulk of volume is then concentrated at the top of the skirt area, and the rest of the skirt is more flowing. I would make use of organza and jersey to make this dress.
Both dresses make use of scallop sleeves.
