Drawing People from Different Countries and Cultures
Hello! I have started a series of drawing people from various different countries and cultures. Here's how It's going:
I will be doing more suggestions, however, as my art is taking longer, there will be breaks between each episode.
Hmong
Viet Nam
In this piece, I drew a Vietnamese palace girl at the Temple of Literature in Hanoi, Vietnam. The clothes that she is wearing are called Việt phục, which are Vietnamese traditional clothes (Trang phục Việt Nam). Việt phục has styles from various dynasties, and I decided to depict the Áo Tấc dress of the Nguyễn Dynasty. The Nguyễn Dynasty was the last dynasty of Vietnam.
Vietnam was once the kingdom of Đại Việt, meaning 'Great Việt'
A person suggested to include Hmong culture in my series. The Hmong are a Hmong-Mien or Miao-Yao ethnolinguistic group who are dispersed throughout Southern China and Mainland Southeast Asia (Indochina), such as Vietnam, Laos, and Thailand; They are famously known for wearing silver from head-to-toe on Hmong New Year. There are various subgroups of the Hmong, mainly distinguished by their traditional clothes, such as:
Flower Hmong
Black Hmong
Miao
This drawing features a girl of Miao ethnicity.
