Slowing getting back into drawing postcard ladies after a 2 year break from spending time on this type of illustration (I’ve been filling my time with study and making websites).
One of the major differences with this illustration is that I’ve decided to return to pencil&paper, dropped all use of photographic reference, the previous Neo Geisha were posed by a model and drawn in adobe illustrator.

inspired by my all time favorite Hanga artist, Ito Shinsui

The texture on the kimono took about a month to complete. I almost gave up, glad I didn’t now.

One of my rare nude freehand drawings, must attend life drawing again! At the time I was experimenting with Japanese brush style.
