Two Rough Drawings



These both depict a character named Fanny. The first picture is a (very bad) marker illustration for the first scene Abigail and I wrote about Fanny as her own story. In the past, Fanny was taken advantage of by her betrothed and was forced to give up the baby to adoption. She has been back in society for about a month, but still is recovering from her wounded spirit. In this picture, she is preparing to go out for a social dinner, and trying to decide which dress to wear.

"Who do I want to be tonight?" she asked musingly, half to herself and half to her maid. She fingered a pink dress. "The flirt." A brown dress. " Solemn." A blue dress. "Or cheerful? Bookish, broodish, trivial..." She pulled out a delicate, soft pink gown. "Or sweet and quiet. Perfect for tonight. "

The second sketch is Fanny and her romantic interest, Nicolao.
