vis com: vietnam postcard


i started off with doing the skin, as this is the easiest part for me and the grounding of the postcard. and it's easy to do this as i know i'm not going to manipulate the skin much.


next i did the hair and the headband, i struggled a bit with the colour scheme of this postcard which you can also see in the next screenshot. the other postcards have a small colour scheme of basically one colour but used darker or lighter. however, after researching this outfit i found that the headdresses are mostly gold or a different colour from the outfits and because i wanted to keep true to the traditional outfit, as that is what my project is about, i kept the gold and red colours. 


i'm not sure if i will end up regretting this colour scheme but i still quite like how the colours work together so i'm going to keep it and see how i feel.


adding in the white lines to make the sleeve more noticeable and so you know where her arms are and it's not confusing, obviously. i do like the white lines because i like being able to see the sleeve but i'm not sure if i just like them without... the simple look. but then again i want people to know exactly how the garment looks so i'll leave it as it is.


the finished thing! pretty pleased with how this one turned out, i like the colours and i like the hairstyle the best i think. i do like the flowers too i think they really add something nice to the pieces instead of it just being block colour.
