I’m in a prison of my own creation.
I started working on this a few months ago, put it on hold and then blasted this thing with color. It’s hard to draw people dancing when you don’t know how to dance yourself and more so when you don’t go out to touch grass to dance with others.
Anyway, I stated before I really liked Maude Ivory in the book, it’s a shame we didn’t get much of her in the movie. In the book, I’m pretty sure Maude Ivory was described to be a lot shorter, that’s on me (but listen I remember 11 to 9 year olds, they shoot up like weeds it felt like I was living in a world of skyscrapers when I was 9)
(If I draw her again, I’ll be sure to make her shorter)
Few other notes:
- Based on what I’ve read, Lucy Gray definitely feels like Maude Ivory’s favorite
- Her hair was so hair to design cause I just had a lot of options in my head. I’m still getting used to drawing curly hair (and had to leave for a few days to get it right 😅)
- Lucy Gray mentioned in the book that “Polka dots make me happy” so maybe I’ll redesign Maude Ivory’s dress to have polka dots
- In the book, Lucy Gray mentions that Maude Ivory hasn’t gotten much sleep since LG was sent to the games, even after returning, so if you zoom in, they both have some eye bags
- I tried doing this thing where if you cover half of their face for just one eye and eyebrow, it shows a different emotion (subtle but still different). I tried doing that for Maude Ivory, lmk if it worked
- It’s my headcanon that since the Covey love color but don’t have that much clothing to spare, they just embroider everything which is why LG’s shirt looks like… I don’t want to talk about it
(When you spend an hour embroidering the dresses and it gets blurred…)
(While coloring her dress one thought in my mind was “why is her dress reminding me of the Vietnamese flag 😅….)
