Taiwanese Bride Matryoshka

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,
