Description

So, this began as a vague sketch of Blanche DuBois from Tennessee Williams' A Streetcar Named Desire.
Buuuuut then it turned into more of a palette challenge(?) A thing which I have never done before.
I'm also afraid to say that I barely stuck to description of her clothes, the only thing I remember from the script is her entering while wearing a "fluffy bodice".

Since no part of this illustration relates to actual clothes from the 1940s, I've just ended up using her as a muse and creating someone very different (hence the title "White Woods" as this is who Blanche attempts to present to Mitch, rather than telling him of her real past and the person she truly is).

Not too happy with the colours I used, but I wanted to try something new, and Williams' "moth" description of the character seemed to fit the washed out palette.

Not sure how the copyright would work on this thing since it isn't REALLY Blanche but I'm gonna point out that I own neither her nor Streetcar. They belong to Tennessee Williams (who passed away in 1983 so perhaps I should say "belonged? Please, someone explain this to me.)
