A Study of the Gibson Girls

Back in 2021, I did "60 Days of Studying the Masters" and Day 51 was Charles Dana Gibson. I loved studying his linework.

This was done live (on TikTok, I think) in about 90 minutes.

A Widow Teenage Goth and Her Friends

"Little Miss Lydia Deetz doing her weekly Sunday morning jog at the local cemetery, looking for graves to rob, as per custom. It was snowing and raining today, so Miss Deetz enjoyed it more than usual."

Another Gibson Girl-style Beetlejuice fanart! It was mostly done tradionally, but I expanded it and added more digital touches. Not that perfect, but I'm proud! Also pen abuse!

This is inspired by this illustration:

(Wow, didn't know that the turn of the century had goths)

Okay, but this Charles Dana Gibson drawing of "matinee girls" (theatre fandom) from 1906 is the cutest thing I've ever seen and I want to hear them squeeing about their favorite plays! (Atlas Obscura)

Charles Dana Gibson (of “Gibson Girl” fame) drew this depiction of the “matinee girls,” a type of ardent theater fan at the turn of the 20th century.

This 1842 print shows Liszt and a throng of his adoring fans.

Everyone loves Charles Dana Gibson's ladies, but his troubled, brooding dudes haunted by the hands of the damned are worth a look too.
