OT - need help from european people for artistic contest

Post by alpharomeo81 »

This is a very uncommon request.
I was asked to make 2 drawings.

A common young man, middle class, about 20 years old, and a young rich girl, 20 years old.
They live in France and they are visiting a museum.

How do people dress there?
I need to make the drawing as real and accurate as possible.
No cliche. Just realistic.

Could you tell me about common young male dressing, and how would a rich girl would dress when she goes there?

Do you know french people who could help me.
It's kind of an artistic challenge or contest between friends, and I don't want to lose.
It started because we were talking about how much we know about the world, some kind of artistic Trivia among friends.

Now I realize that I don't know anything about Europe.

I need to have those drawings ready before Tuesday for it's the deadline.
Could you help me?

The common french man should have a day's stubble, uncomfortably tight trousers, a stripy sweater tucked into the trousers, a beret and a string of garlic around his neck. Ideally, he is also carrying a loaf of french bread and a small bag of assorted cheeses.

The rich french woman should just be incredibly hot. Possibly mouthing the words "Oh la la!"

... Not that I base my world-view on stereotypes or anything... :oops:

Well I made a search using Google, but nothing worked.
The answer came from a comic called Les Profs.
It helped me to have an idea on how french people dress.

This challenge was interesting because you think that you know many things but in the end you don't know them. I also had to ask a french girl and I realized how is that we have lots of stereotypes regarding french people.

I made the most complete compendium of pics (about 10 pics) and a PDF file. It was the most complete research among my friends.

Your help was very appreciated. It was a funny artistic challenge. 8)
