Hey Sir Rat! I think you stole that outfit out of my closet! (except the bare midriff). Of course, I don't have Kirby's figure or youth, but, well, anyway....... ::)

Hey Leia - you and Kirby could be hair twins!

Another great drawing you have done. Thanks for sharing your fashion drawing.

I would wear it, in fact I did wear outfits like that when I was a wee bit younger! ;D

That's a nice drawing! As for the outfit, I tend to dress on the modest side, so I'd wear the skirt.

Nice picture, and yes I'd wear it. I love clothes like that. It's too bad I'm so short I have a difficult time finding things that fit me right.

Nice drawing, and coloring too. Is that watercolors?

Thank you, ladies! It looks like the long denim skirt and gypsy top did pretty well. I did three long denim skirt designs for a lady to use at her site, but only this one (of Kirby Ann) had a background and was the simplest design of the three.

The art is a computer painting program in which I use only the brush tool to mix color and create watercolor effects over a pencil sketch scanned into the machine.

Here is another type of art I do: (No backgrounds, just the model and her attire which I try my hand at designing.)

Would you all wear this summer style dress?... maybe with a matching white jacket? Does it look good with her long hair?

I like the dress, it's simple yet nice looking, and that's the kind of style I usually aim for. Are you considering styling clothes someday? The art is really good, I like it. :)

edit: I have to say I especially like this:

Very elegant looking, and I love oriental styled designs.

That's a very nice design! I think her long hair goes very well with the dress! :)

That is a very hard field to break into. I have floated designs at high fashion boards and have not done well. One of the complaints: The models' hair is too long. There is a general way you have to do it, ie. out of proportion legs on a figure that would weigh about 90 lbs. Not my style. Instead, I'm happy trying to finish my novels and rendering fashion art. Been doing this since a teen, only recently taking it a bit more serious.

Again, thank you all for your comments so far. Maybe I'll try some more outfits and art on you all later.

Robin, when you get back, I have a new chapter ready at Goddesses of '73. This is the one with the car chase near the end. Let me know if it's descriptive enough.
