Two Sketches: a Pair of Elegant Ladies

Elegant Collar, Line Drawing by Sarah Myers

   Two women in elegant clothing; the first with an upright collar, fit for the chilly gray weather today (although her earring in the shape of an upside-down pineapple suggests brighter climates) and the second with a deep back to her evening gown's neckline – perhaps an idea for a later hour tonight?

   These two drawings are part of my special “sketchbook series”.  Their clear lines, a black pen following across a light sketch in pencil, make the portraits of women you will see from this procession of pictures; ladies with lively or tranquil faces, fashionable hairstyles and hats, and a sense of poise or grace.  It is a daily story, told with a pen and very occasionally with a line of charcoal; please enjoy the visual words that create their identities and expressions.
