Drawesome - Challenge 15 - Body type diversity

Title: Lumps of Pudding
Artist: amberdreams
Rating: PG
Warnings: None
Fandom: None.
Summary: There's a old British folk tune called Lumps of Pudding, which is a jig that was popular in the late 18th/early 19th centuries. Some time in the 1790s H.W Bunbury drew a long comic-style strip of people dancing the Lumps of Pudding jig, and I've done my own version. This is just an extract because I've submitted a lot more dancing people as my design for a giant snail for a sculpture trail in Brighton, and we aren't allowed to share the complete designs yet.
Content Notes: Submitted for the Body Type Diversity challenge on drawesome because these folks might all be white but they are diverse! LOL

Eeee, may I put this in my Wallpapers folder? I LOVE it, not least the several different assorted people in their singular selves, and the sense of rhythm and movement and dance. \o/

[amberdreams]

Yes of course! I'm glad you like it!

Hey they look like they‘re having fun! I love their hairstyles and the feathers.

[amberdreams]

That's what I loved about the original - they all had crazy hair!

[syntheid]

I like the sense of movement! Definitely feels like a lively dance. :)

[amberdreams]

I'm really happy this is coming across as energetic! Thank you!

So cute!

They look to be having a blast! I like how everyone is in motion - the variety of positions make it seem really dynamic. Great use of body type diversity. :D

Keep your fingers crossed for me - if the design gets picked I get to paint this on an giant snail! LOL

That looks great - definitely got a touch of the William Hogarth about it :)

Yes, and roughly the right period too!

What a cute style! Love the movement in the dresses:) Great hair on the men too!

The original etching has such great crazy hair on everyone! It was one of the reasons I wanted to do it for this project. So fun!
