Va-va-voom!
You'd never know from the original but this character was actually a
Grandmother within the universe the characters lived in. A very . . .
sexy . . . grandma. Not that I think there is anything wrong with
that. It's just that I now realize that to be sexy one doesn't have
to look twenty, especially if they are really seventy.
For
this redraw I decided to look at some wedding dresses from the
sixties, maybe to flash back to Esperanza's youth. The dress, in
buttery yellows, is feminine and soft looking and the veil and flower
crown is romantic and coquettish. I'd like to think maybe she got
married in a field somewhere with her beau. Maybe it wasn't even a
legal marriage, but a union of love and partnership. Very sixties.

tips: I think my hands are getting a bit better. The key is to avoid
the dreaded “lobster claw” shape when in a position like the one
I used here.
