Description
i love the retro look of the kitschy chinese art deco pinups so here's my humble homage to one. i used an actual shanghai poster for reference. the pattern on the dress and the flowers in the background were a bitch to trace. overall the most time consuming illustration i ever worked on. (two weeks on and off).i used a grungy texture on the background so it looks a little...dirty.
the black outline of the girl seems a little distracting to me...i might repost an edited version of this...just waiting for reactions
