Brain drawings and Clothing sketches at the British Museum and The Museum of London

After the ending of my degree course, I decided to use my leisure not only to find a job but also improving on my drawing skills as well as reading. During the first week that I finished my degree I managed to meet up with my old friend form secondary school that recommended me to read some Historical Romance novels.

After reading about four of these novels, (where three of the four were set in the regency era and the last one in the Victorian era) I decided to do some research of clothing that were based in these tow eras. This led me to visit the Museum of London and to do sketches of clothing.

I checked out an area of the museum called the pleasure gardens, and was so surprised of the clothing that was shown that I decided to commence sketching. For the next two days I sketched about five designs of clothing and I have to

say that drawing them felt like a breath of fresh air.

Here are the images:





















On the other hand I also took a trip to The British Museum and did some brain drawings, of some of the objects that were featured on a BBC radio 4 show called A History of the World in 100 Objects.

Here are some of them:
