*cooking show presenter voice* It's a super simple recipe, all you're going to need is a shiny tuxedo and my design for a submarine car. You'll also need about seven pretty ladies, an aston martin- though a mercedes will also work if that's what you prefer- a base in a volcano and a lazer cigar. Add in some crocodile moccasins, a watch with a garrote in it and a vodka martini to taste and there's our man!
Okay so I decided to flick through some of the pages of The Youngest Son by Ivor Montagu and basically I landed on a page where I read the sentences:
'I remember a conversation in the library after she[his mother] had discovered the existence of female homosexuality. Males she could understand,she said,"but Lesbians...what do they do?"
The trouble was,my knowledge was totally and completely theoretical. Of practice I had none.'
I think that the fun part of being in the mincemeat fandom is the part that I can recognize who's new to the fandom/ been lurking and who's been in the fandom for a pretty long time
Once again trying to convince the mincemeat fandom to listen to the Lempicka soundtrack 🙏
Anyway this is finally finished! After 16 hours! In my last post I said that my next piece would be non mince but that got sidelined (sorry to the one person I told that idea to) but happy I finally drew Hester to all those who celebrate. Some elements of this are a bit rushed but I threw some noise over the top of it to make it all lovely and crunchy.
The premise of this drawing is that I realised that I needed to have a go at drawing something in the style of Tamara de Lempicka, and while I’ve made a post before about how I believe Jean would have looked up to Lempicka and the idea of the new woman, I do like to think Hester would have been quietly admiring of her as well, and I believe (?) that Hester would have been a young woman as Lempicka was most influential.
Either way I am happy with how this turned out, and I did really enjoy doing the face and hands. I also didn’t use the blend tool for this piece at all though I can’t actually think of a good reason why I did that.
Here are some closeups! I realised after I did it that the glasses chain is wrong but to be honest I quite like how it looks at the front of the arm.
Anyway thank you to all who read this. I know I don’t stop going on about it but I do really recommend Lempicka the musical. I think another reason why I chose to draw Hester in this way is because the song that the caption is from, Woman Is, is about how woman are works of art and I think that what I wanted to do ultimately is present her as the beautiful woman she is.
