I haven’t been doing this, properly... Well, like I used to!
Is there a proper way to do things?
Before we dive in, can I say that the women are alright? I love them, and I’m very possessive about my mujeres. - So, this is an inside joke between me, myself and I... That I should title this series as Women of My Wardrobe instead, heh. Not like I own the clothes or jewellery (man, how I’d like to) they are wearing and sporting. I do wish the outfits were real! Or would come to life. That’d be magical, eh? (I just read that in an Irish accent, lel.)
It makes me think of the plots of those yummy Chinese-inspired fables in Tinkle. Do y’ remember? Speaking of which, drawing this woman (and colouring her in) filled my mind’s confines with oriental princesses and the like.
Ying Yue’s (that be her name) royalty, as you can perhaps tell. She’s one of the few princesses in China who decided her single-hood was too precious to give up for the sake of having a partner for life (romantic or otherwise). She’s got companions, platonic, and of the sexual kind but also, she has a head full of dreams/plans! For herself. For her people. For all the little women out there. Ooh, also, while she is good with a sword, Ying Yue loves to work on her calligraphy in her leisure time. She would very much like to learn some embroidery techniques, this year; she isn’t adroit yet when it comes to handling a sewing needle.
Ying Yue is well known in the country for her aesthetic and dressing sense. Mama be digging her lewk! Erm, Mama’s me. I’m drooling.
Going back to the first sentence I typed, what I mean is that I have been posting these drawings late, and not daily (as I intended to). I post them between chotu breaks, every couple of das, and that’s okay right? (My argument: I’m the creator.) It just seemed like the wisest thing to do. I’ve been pushing myself harrrd ever since I started this series, this month, but yeah, there were days when I ...just... couldn’t. I needed a breather.
It made me wonder how I did it in 2017 and 2018... I posted a woman, every single day. Crazy! Who was I, even? Who am I, now? :-(
TL;DR: Yes, there will be forty women. I just might not publish a drawing, every day. Gotta be smart, y’all... My body and my brain deserves to be in the good place. My hands, too! (I will only hope that you continue to follow/support me on this journey, should you like to - if at all.)
P.S. I’ve got a few prints up for sale, if you’re keen to purchase any? I’ll share deets (soon), with respect to how you can order things. (Could you also please tell me about blogging platforms other than Blogger, Tumblr or WordPress that are real nice? Been researching but not convinced of my findings... Should you have reccos, hit me up.)
NOTE: The women in this particular series were made of my own accord, and possess no affiliation to anything whatsoever. They belong to me - Roanna Fernandes, and I hope you will not employ/plagiarise these drawings in any form, manner or motif (should you appreciate this artwork at all). On a separate note, should you like my work to consider my services for a prospective project or such, write to me at [email protected] or send me a message via this platform, etc.
