Rhathymia

 Hello! 


     Today's drawing shows a lady who's enjoying her free time as much as she can. She's surrounded by plants, sitting under the tree and playing with her fluffy cat. Girl is also reading a thought-provoking novel.

    Oh, and on her hoodie you'll find a reference to Sailor Moon's opening theme... Dunno why but I find this lady strangely similar to Sailor Mercury... 

😏

a View on Melancholy

 Hello!


     I was always interested in theories concerning temperaments... I haven't probably mentioned it but this interest influenced my way of portraying personifications of the Four Seasons. I couldn't help but assign each of them to respective humours like sanguine, choleric, phlegmatic and melancholic. Today I would like to focus on the last one of them because showing a view on Melancholy belonged to one of my aims.

So let's start with the earliest sketches with the ideas for Melancholy's portrayal.






I chose to show the allegory of Melancholy as a tired, worried and thoughtful woman. Next I draw her on paper. Firstly I wanted to use a black pen for outlines but I've changed my mind.
