  25. Oh, what beautiful fashion studies you've made. These were the type of drawings I learned when in school to become a tailor. I have a real crush on the 50's fashion and your first one reminds me of that.
    Not sure I can manage a thousand words, but I really appreciate you sharing this post. Thanks.

  26. Oh, and I saw someone call your colorful fashion drawing an abstract, it's really smashing and I believe they didn't notice the human body inside it. LOL.

  40. Superb , very beautiful! Each of these drawings are true masterpieces!
    Thank you for explaining to me that the letter W is "doble V" . I should have known that if I had looked in my Spanish dictionary, but I was too lazy. I suppose it is the same in Italian and Portuguese? The W is not a strong letter anyway. But thank you!
