Costume Drawings

[citoyenneclark.livejournal.com]

As costuming is a bit of a hobby, and so is drawing, a while back, I did drawings of various French Revolutionaries and their clothes. (From various paintings, and books)


Here is Saint-Just, wearing the representative en mission hat. (Which does kind of look a bit silly, but as it was the standard uniform for representatives en mission, Saint-Just probably would have worn one while at the army.



Here is Theresa Caburrus. Though, as she was in jail at the time of 9th Thermidor, probably won't feature in your reenactment.



Here is Camille and Lucile Desmoulins. Yeah, I never could get Camille's face to turn out right. The text is there because I submitted this in a 6th grade art contest, and had to explain/condense their lives into a paragraph. :(




I have some others somewhere, I'll post them if there is any interest. Sorry about not being able to put these under a cut, but all the formatting buttons have disappeared.

You are realy good in drawing clothes, especially the folds!

Oh! Thank you! Nice drawings. I specially like Desmoulins couple.
I also used to draw ancient fashion when I was a teenager. I didn't copy them. I liked to create my own designs. It was my hobby.
I have some old drawings based on Revolution period.
They aren't good at all. The proportions are awful. But take into account that they are 19 - 20 years old!

And finally. I drew it for myself; as my way to commemorate Bicentenary.

!! What do you mean 'not good at all'?! They're awesome! Much better than what I could manage, at any rate. XD

These are great! I wish I could draw faces as well. I love the detail in the pre-rev. english outfit. Very well done.

Ohh hey, I see you have the French Revolutionary paperdolls too.

[trf-chan.livejournal.com]

Aww, Saint-Just looks adorable. :3 XD

As others have said, I like the way you drew the folds in the clothes.
