This has nothing to do with the situation in Japan, so this is not a statement. Of course I feel sorry for the people and the situation is awful, but I drew this a couple of weeks ago already. It’s just a dress-design which happened to be inspired by the japanese culture.

I wanted to use lots of red because red is delicious. It’s a very strong color, and I don’t use it that often. I do wear a lot of red, though… I’m very satisfied with the dress, and I wish I knew how to sew so that I could make one but that’ll have to wait. Maybe in a couple of years? The bag is matched with the dress, and not with the shoes, because her hair already matches with the shoes. And I didn’t want to use too much black, because the white and the red were the main colors in this one.

Also, I like her red shadow a lot although it doesn’t follow the rules of light and shadow. It’s more like an artistic add-on to the illustration.
