Austrian Girl Matryoshka

Hello! This is my latest Matryoshka an Austrian Girl. All her prints, etc. are now for sale in my shop. She wears the traditional dirndl. I have had many requests for her and I hope she lives up to the expectations. While doing research for this drawing I came across images on the web and pinned them to a board here.

My suggestions list is located in the right hand column of my blog. They are listed in the order which I received them. Whenever I receive a new request it goes on the bottom of the list. I have drawn 68 cultures/nationalities so far. I have enjoyed learning about all the cultures that I've drawn thus far. Thank you for sharing your heritage and interests with me and for your support.

Peace,
Amy

Taiwanese Bride Matryoshka

Hello and happy new year to you! I spent January doing paperwork and I am so glad to be back to drawing. February is off to a good start and I've completed my first illustration of 2013 a Taiwanese Bride Matryoshka. I was super excited to draw her because my daughter agreed to pose for me. She was so sweet and helpful. I have drawn her many times and she is my favorite model. She also posed for my Chinese Hanfu and Tibetan Matryoshkas.

In my research for this illustration I found many wonderful images of Taiwanese brides and made a board of them here.

I am in love with the color combinations of the sky blue and cherry red in the traditional Taiwanese bridal dress. Also, the detail of the fabulous headdress was quite fun to draw. I hope you like her! Please visit my shop to see all the items I have featuring this illustration.

Peace,
Amy
