second grade self

Last day of my temporary job!  I wore this outfit in honour of my 7 year old self, whose most favourite ever colours were fuchsia, violet and blue-green.  I still remember sitting at an elementary school table colouring a picture of flowers with my treasured crayons in those three colours.  While I was working in the design room, the young daughter of one of the designers came to meet her mum, and she too was decked out in pinks and purples.  We matched!

I started this with the thought, "I want to do a drawing from behind..." It's really fun to draw feet from the back—that's the entire reason I like drawing people facing away.  But I didn't have anything specific in mind beyond the feet, so the rest was just whatever happened to happen on the paper.  And that was this.

I cheated on the light pink shirt and used Photoshop's butterfly brush to do the pattern.  But you can hardly see it anyway, under all that lace!
