The Misses Bennet.
Studies for the Bennet sisters from Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice.
There is a ghost of a pair of glasses on Mary – I wasn’t sure whether she ought to have them or not…

somehow, when I read about Mary’s glasses, I was puzzled, too.
Hmm. Maybe not….

Ah, I can’t stop admiring technical essentiality of all Your works. Their hair, clothes, all features.
but what I love here are those amusing countenances

I can’t decide even now, Zaulia…
Thank you so much, krysohmyz, my cunning friend. ^^ I wish you knew the character of each of them too…

well, I’ll have to browse on the book

Oh, the book doesn’t describe her as wearing them. That was just part of my characterisation of her.

But it’s somehow common, while I really imagined her with glasses, too

Oh, Jane Austen is definitely on my ‘must read’ list… but still quite deep, unfortunately… =/

Perhaps I can read her to you one day…

That will be beautiful to hear Your voice for long hours…

If you’re quite sure it won’t bore you to sleep… ^^

Your ability to draw characters from books is amazing!
I wonder if you have any tips or advice about how to do it…
…i have made a couple of slightly hashed attempts at it, but my pencils never seem to behave themselves.
