Thai Dancer Matryoshka

Thai Dancer Matryoshka Close-Up Portrait

Thai Dancer Matryoshka

As promised in my last post, my newest illustration- Thai Dancer Matryoshka! I drew a dancer because I was inspired by the hand positioning and all the gold adornments of the traditional dance costumes. Also, I couldn't resist adding another "Gold" girl to my collection. I think she would look splendid displayed along with my Cambodian Girl Matryoshka, don't you?


Thai Dancer Matryoshka and Cambodian Girl Matryoshka (she is a fan dancer),

I'm realizing that many of my Matryoshka illustrations are inspired by traditional dance costumes but I haven't always labeled them as "Dancer", this was unintentional though. I may go back and rename some of them at some point.

Have you noticed my new blog layout? I rearranged it to include a new Etsy mini (top left) of my Etsy favorites! My Etsy favorites will include Matryoshka, girls room and nursery decor, and cultural items you may be interested in. I am browsing Etsy for fun items to share with you everyday so please check back often! :)

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! :)
