Showgirls and things
Added 2023-08-05 22:33:13 +0000 UTCHappy Saturday, friends!
I didn't really set out with a theme, I was just doing some decompressing sketching yesterday and I just kept on getting fascinated by the the jazz age vibe of these figures so I kept on drawing them. I think I'll put a little bit more color on some and post them as non-sketches.
Part of the inspiration for these is this 1975 poster for Chicago on Broadway, which I loooove.
I listen to musicals quite a bit while I'm working and Chicago in particular has been a favorite for me this year. Sex and violence π such a winning combo haha

2023-08-09 08:39:21 +0000 UTCThat's very interesting! I am of course familiar with the Bauhaus design/art movement but I haven't really delved into other art and culture specific to Berlin in this period-- I didn't even know the name for it! I only recently have started to learn about the history of cabaret and drag in German culture. There's so much to know π

I'm very interested in the genitalia comment because I want to know more!! Do you think they're more fun to look at when they're a little bit simplified and abstracted somewhat? β€οΈπ§‘π€π Thank you for your lovely comments, Fuya!

2023-08-06 19:40:31 +0000 UTCChicago is one of my all time favorite musicals, too π I love these sketches, they capture the vibe so nicely. Also I just noticed once more that I'm fascinated with how you draw genitalia, sometimes I stare at them for a good amount of time all zoomed in π³

2023-08-06 01:40:18 +0000 UTCIt's like you're reading my mind. I've been hoping for some 20s era lewdity and this stuff, sketches or not, is just the ticket!
