Description I really love this one. I used only ink, and I think it was good idea. In future, I'll try to think about more stuff like this, so be afraid!!!

Well ... I think it's just true? I'll write my thesis on Maiko and Geiko - sort of ... so I pay attention to those things
And it's lovely to see that some people actually know that there's a difference between Maiko and Geiko - and that the first even exist and such

Few years ago I was crazy about the subject and read good few books about it. I still feel sentimental about it, though I have to admit the knowledge is fading a bit and I find myself having more and more problems to distinguish one from another - I mean I know the 'looks' difference between them, but I keep mixing the terms I guess it's getting older ha ha.

Still - reading about it does not seem to mean you remember - at least when you ahve a closer look at stuff here on dA
I'm not saying I'm some sort of expert ... but I guess I know some things

A few years ago ... did it start with 'the movie'? For many people it seemed to start either with the movie or the book - though the book's been out forever, it just wasn't all that popular

I still love the whole subject though many of my views have changed a lot. But I've been to Japan and have even seen some Maiko - real ones, not Henshin Geiko Still fascinating ... but the best movies on that topic are two very old black and white ones from Japan, I think. Not as fluffy and happy as 'Memoirs of a Geisha'.

Nope, the movie killed it I still think it's riddiculous... (who came up with idea to give her blue eyes?!). Think it was syntesis of book and overall fascination with Japan. Though I'm not into the subject so much anymore, I still find it fascinating

Good luck with your thesis!

Well yes - the movie was horrible - but interesting in its very own way - mainly how they changed Japanese things/customs to make their clothes look pretty/sexy for Westerners.The blue
Liza Dalby advised them on kimono and such - which still shocks me a bit as she's been a Maiko herself a long time ago. I thought she would help make it make more accuarte - but obviously not.

The blue eye part was even in the book. But in the book description they were more grey-ish, if I recall correctly. Plus, the author was an American - so what do you expect?

Thank you, thank you I hope it's all gonna work out - took me forever to get a professor for it

Um... I'm not sure if I got the other part correct, but I did that with just regular ink (black,white and red). Oh, and I didn't use pen, but brushes. It's easier when you don't have to worry bout puttin down all those small lines

Efekt jest AMAZING! Powinnaś więcej takich inkowych obrazków naskrobać! Czarny gwash ma podobny matowy błysk co tusz... ale..chyba jednak tusz łatwiej nałożyć...chociaż nie koniecznie łatwiej zetrzeć z rąk i twarzy XD

Mnie też się podoba, ale takie prace to zawsze ciężka krwawica i... stres Za cienka jestem w uszach, żeby takie prace trzaskać na prawo i lewo.

Ładne i proste. Jak już ktoś zauważył - minimalistyczne. I do gejszy to bardzo pasuje, przypomina klasyczne japońskie ilustracje. :]
