Most of you know that my dear friend, QuevivaCandy, is translating my short story Peculiar Relationship to Relación Peculiar for me. For this story, I’ve drawn Candy alone and then Albert by himself, so I figured it was time to draw them together. I had several scenes in my mind, but I was reluctant to draw another scene in the dark. Moreover, a lot of my readers are from the United States, and it was very close to their Thanksgiving Day. (Hey, I managed to finish my drawing on this special day. Happy Thanksgiving to you all! ❤ )
Hence, an idea struck me. How about I draw them dance? 🙂 Although I have seen many beautiful dancing fanarts from various artists, it doesn’t mean I can’t draw one, right? 😉 Besides, I remember more than a year ago QuevivaCandy asked me to draw a dancing scene (from my other story), so I actually owe her one. 😳
Note that in the manga Candy had danced with a few young men except her Prince on the Hill (although she had fantasized about it when she was younger). In Candy Candy Final Story (CCFS), it wasn’t mentioned either, but since it was written that they both attended Archie and Annie’s engagement party, I wrote in Peculiar Relationship that Candy finally had her first dance with Albert in Lakewood. ❤
Igarashi had given Candy a very elegant dress with a train, so I decided to “borrow the clothes” (not the exact colors though) from this picture but only drew half, because the floor length gown is not my focus. I also drew Candy taller, consider that she was wearing high heels. To be honest, I think Candy looked a bit too short when compared to Albert in the drawing, especially her feet were already above the ground! 😉 Either he was nearly 200 cm tall or she was way under 150 cm in height. Just my two cents of course. 😝😋
QuevivaCandy, this is my second fanart dedicated to you for translating Peculiar Relationship!! 😍 Hope you like it too! 💕
