some more sketches, this time mostly about my Hong Kong postcard, mostly because i was struggling with choosing which dress to put the character in. there is the hanfu, but this is quite similar to the look of the kimono and i was worried that people would think that they were the same thing. and there is also the cheongsam. after asking one of my friends who comes from Hong Kong, she said that in her eyes, the cheongsam is a better representation of a chinese woman. with this opinion in mind, i am deciding to go with her advice.
i also did a short questionnaire between my coursemates to ask which dress they think would look better, short or long. as the qipao comes in two lengths. everyone liked the short one better as the long one just didn't feel the same. i also liked the hair better on the shorter one as well as i think the chopsticks are nicely representative of the chinese culture.
