INFINITY YU JING - Dragon Lady HVT
Dragon Lady HVT This lady was heaps of fun to paint. I think I like doing civvies the most. I really wanted her to have a traditional red Chinese dress with gold trim. I went for two tones of red and then everything else offset by the gold. I copied the patterns from a real dress. The parasol was the intimidating part to paint with the fine freehand and I looked up many designs from simple cherry blossom patterns and so forth but settled on a more complex dragon one after much research. The pattern I used is based on an amalgam of many pics but close to a very traditional dragon and sky design that I saw on quite a few different artworks. I'm happy I chose the harder path of doing the dragon as it is a nice feature and is appropriate for this lady.
