Cambodian Girl Matryoshka

This is my latest illustration, a Cambodian Girl Matryoshka! Cambodian women's clothing and gold adornments are so ornate and beautiful. This was a super fun one to draw! My process these days goes pretty much like this— Eureka, good idea! Research, pencil sketch, wait a couple days (noodle time). More research, draw on computer, hopefully sleep on it. Make some adjustments, print out a proof, make any additional adjustments. Then, reveal to you! I hope you like her! :)

The details you give really do provide an essence of where they are "from". I love how each one has her own style and twinkle in the eye. :)

Wow. She just might be one of your best designs.

:D Thanks Ren!! I think this one has allot of contrast and that really helps it stand out. I'm liking the gold. Now I'm working on a Pakistani Doll that also has allot of gold. I feel a series! :)
