FreshSketch Week 1: Annie's Moscow-Daffy-1776


So I ended up focusing more on the military aspect of the 1776 and Moscow references. I feel like there should be fur somewhere, and maybe feathers for Daffy, but just couldn't make all that concept fit in one dress. I'd wondered before if military could work for evening...

Stump The Designer/Keepin' it Fresh

Nancy Strickler, you were right.

After pondering what I could do to:
1- Liven up this blog
2 - Keep fresh ideas rolling
3 - Put great inspiration to good use
4 - Grow a design catalog from which clients may select,

I decided that good, old-fashioned regular sketching is a must! It is with excitement that I plan to bring you up to 3 looks here each week.

On my mind lately:
Summertime lake excursions
the supernatural (Admittedly, these sketches will be likely be done Monday mornings when I catch up on my vamp dramas. lol)
always Alice's adventures

but...
if you want to play 'Stump the Designer', bring it! Give me:
Who I'm Designing For
Where She's Going
An Inspiration/Muse/Character/Artist/Thing
and a Year/Era

I made my sister play without knowing what I was asking, so for week 1, I'm stuck with:
Daffy Duck goes to Moscow circa 1776.

Did I mention I reserve the right to translate inspiration as needed?
So, I'll start with Imperial Russia's Coat of Arms and add in a dose of whimsy and...rage? Haha. Wish me luck.
