One thing I would say about lady Danbury is she also plays a role in the 7th book So when casting for the show they can't get someone too old because when season 7 releases in like 15 years that person would be... aged out of the role
@@Sophia-ww7lfWhere'd you hear that? I read that Shonda Rhimes said she and the others planned to adapt all the Bridgerton books. It would make more sense if there's at least two more seasons, for Benedict and Eloise, since they're very popular. I want Benedict's season especially. He's great as a side character but I'd love him to be the focal point for once lol.
Penealopy's situation in the books kinda feels like Sophie from Howls Moving castle. In books n the movie she's been cursed of old age but it oddly empowers her with a unique sense of freedom elderly women get to have. When she looks her age there's this unspoken pressure to act or look a certain way which is a big part of her character's insecurity. With old age comes the freedom for her to be herself without the aspection and she's experiencing the joys of being a nagging old lady without scrutiny. Though different it's interesting for concepts like these to get brought up in women literature. Don't know what that says about me that I relate to this very much 😅😂
@@msk-qp6fn pretty sure that's what they mean and its not a stretch, sophie was cursed with being eldrly so this person is implying that being fat was penelopes curse because it's what kept her from having suiters which led her to spinsterhood. I just don't like the idea of someone comparing a whole curse that was meant to make sophies life horrible and howl not want her to being fat.
me too... i haven't even seen remotely anything from the show, just this screensaver ad on my tv of it and i thought she looked so pretty and adorable.
The reason I enjoy older adaptations (specifically Jane Austen type ones), is that the casts almost always look more realistic. By this I mean that old characters are actually old and wrinkly, "ugly" characters aren't almost always assimilated and cast as conventionally attractive, etc.
Yeah, if anything, Lady Danbury's looks are very much irrelevant. Some people have complained that the old lady acts "too sassy, too modern" for the time... But if you go to your Jane Austen, old RICH ladies sometimes acted like that because they could. Darcy's aunt Lady Catherine De Bourgh really talked without giving a s*** about other people's opinions. And Emma Woodhouse clearly states that "it's only poverty that makes celibacy unappealing" -quoting from memory, so probably wrong-. Which means that young women trying to marry, and married women of fertile age (all of whom required societal respect and had to act with certain propriety, because paternity DNA tests didn't exist yet, so their behaviour had to always be unimpeachable, out of the slightest sliver of suspicion) had to behave very, very well. Older women without money who depended on the favour of richer friends (who gave them presents of fish and game and stuff) also had to behave a certain way. But, rich single ladies or rich widows? They could do and say whatever the hell they wanted, and considering most of them had probably gone through the previous stages of losing sleep because of what other people might have thought or said about them, it makes TOTAL sense that those women, at a certain age in their lives, said "f*** off, I'm going to go TOTALLY UNFILTERED now". I love them.
I just reread the books and anytime it mentioned that Lucy is blonde with long waves I had to readjust my image of her because the actress just took over the image in my mind!😆
I think the more wage descriptions about the man in romance novels is there to leave some space for the readers imagination so that they can be attractive to any reader.
Tbf like the 3 eldest sons are fricking crazy jerks the the books (i haven't read Gregory's book). The show really made Anthony, Benedict and Collin more likebel and adult like even when they are all younger in the show (like in the books they are all 30+ but act so childish sometimes)
i think what OP is trying to say is that the books can get really fanfic-y at times, not about it coming out first. if you were to watch season 2, for example, then read the book and you read shit like the original bee scene you'd be weirded out ++ how similar all the books are to each other (there's a good video on this), its use of tropes and the fact that every man is a rake and every woman is younger and 'pure', etc. it just builds up to a more fanfic/bodice ripper (which, well, they are) type feel than the netflix show.
I really love this series because I have such a hard time picturing faces when I’m reading. I can only do it if I concentrate really hard. Most of the time they’re just faceless bodies in my head 😅😂
Lady Danbury is younger in the show because there is a time skip in the books that is not present in the show. Pen is only 20 in the show, not 28. I think based on that, the actress for Danbury is not too young. she may still be a few years younger but not more than a decade like you may have previously been thinking. I loved all the illustrations, you are very talented, love this channel!
When I clicked on the vid, I didn't expect to see Lavender Town all kitted out and wearing theme appropriate attire and set; absolutely killing it in terms of style, but I digress, the art was wonderful as usual.
7:52 I actually thought that Colin’s neck thing was like a wide mouth thing, scared me for a moment, overall I love this series and your “by the book” designs 💚
@@felixhenson9926i do feel like they could've at least done her makeup to age her up a little bit, obvs they cant cast someone too old and risk them passing away during filming the series but idk I just wish they'd made her look more wrinkled and definitely kept more of her book role. She's a great actress tho really captures the vibe! Idk maybe im crazy for that I just like getting female actors who are looking wrinkled or "imperfect" idk idk
@@lishanimations9852 if the show keeps going, I'm sure you'll get exactly what you want. I think she's great as is tbh, you still get the old vibe from her without needing the over-wrinkled look to tell you she's old. her maturity and wisdom carries her age through the screen rather than just her looks.
@@prancingsquid i still like her as is but im going to be honest it would just be nice to get to see women who look older and more weathered. I feel like theres an insane amount of pressure as a woman to look eternally youthful and as young as possible and i do not think I am wrong for wanting to see more wrinkles on screen and for older women to be allowed to look old af. I love her as an actress, I think shes doing a great job and as i said she does still capture the vibe of the character, i just wish they had used makeup to make her at least look a little bit older and that they would have given her more of her role from the book because i want her to shine even more because again i do like the actress. Hope this clarified my feelings more its hard to do in my non native tongue 👍
Could do a by-the-book for Monster High? Monster high actually had a 4 book series written by Lisi Harrison that started in 2010. Unlike other franchises, the books were written as promotion for the release of Monster High toy line. However, the books were written during development of the toys and story so the author didn’t know everything and was able to tell a unique story. They’re very different than the show but I find them really endearing and nostalgic. I think it would be really cool if you drew all the characters in their human disguises and monster forms because they actually have to hide that they’re monsters during the story.
I absolutely ADORED the MH books omg!!! I had them all and re-read them a few years ago. They were indeed very different from the show but both were amazing in their own way
I’d love to see you cover good omens!! A lot of the fandom have their own personal designs for how the characters’ book versions, so it’d be cool to see your take :D
By the Books is my favorite series of yours. My particular favorite is the Pretty Little Liars One. And speaking of PLL, you sould do a follow up to that one, since the new PLL is really popular right now. Do the other characters you didn't do in the first one (Alison, Jenna, Mona, etc.)
Thank you for talking about how much of a red flag his temper is in the book! I love the show so I started reading the book and had to stop as soon as he bruised her, but it seems like all the other fans of the show also like the books and they don't talk about how toxic Colin is!
I missed this series so much!! It’s so interesting to compare the books to their adaptation, even in minor details. It’s surprising how often adaptions mess up details, unfortunately (We don’t talk about Percy Jackson movies for a reason).
i’d LOVE to see you do something like this with some classic novels!! especially frankenstein since the book’s description of the creature is so different
I would LOVE to see a "By the Book" Installment of "Ready Player One." I liked the movie being one big shout-out to popular media, but the book was supposed to be a shout-out to 80s media culture, specifically with videogames, Kaiju movies, 80s cartoons, the works! I would love to see what you would make of the story's original characters.
Wait you should do a good girls guide to murder next! I know you don’t take suggestions from just some commenter, which I get, but AGGGTM recently announced a live action and frankly I feel like the characters feel like slightly beautified? Like a beauty filter was placed on them?? Once again, I know you don’t take suggestions from just one comment, but I would love to see this done.
Absolutely LOVE this series! Especially seeing your interpretation of characters that are casted in adaptations to be more “palatable” to newer audiences, and representing them in a way that is both true to the books and gorgeous in your style! If you’re looking for new books for this series, I highly recommend Shadow and Bone and/or Six of Crows. Both are adapted in the Shadow and Bone Netflix series, which generally did a fantastic job at staying true to the work, while still having some significant differences in casting. Amazing work, as always! 🎉
I love this series because I cant picture things in my head, so actually designing a character that I can look at while I read is really nice. Currently, I'm reading The Hellbound Heart, because Hellraiser is one of my favorite series out there. I noticed that the characters are described a lot different in the book though, and I wish I had this sort of reference to look at when "imagining" a character, yk?
my mom, aunts, and grandma have been OBSESSED with this series!!! I'm not old enough to watch the series but I love your interpretation and let me just say its reallllyyyyyy cute!!!!!!!
I’d love if you did a By the Book of Stephen Kings IT! The book descriptions of the losers are soo different from the movies (especially the 1990 version!)
I don't know if you saw my comment about some newly rediscovered fairy tales; the holy Trinity of fairy tales; Grimm, Perrault, and Hans Christian Anderson has now become a quartet! Franz Xavier von Schönwerth traveled pretty much everywhere in Bavaria. Most of his work was thought to be lost, until 2009, when 30 boxes of manuscripts were uncovered in a German municipal archive. "The Turnip Princess" was published under Penguin Classics in English in 2015. I'm extremely curious of how you would portray/ interpret the characters of the nearly 70 stories found in this book.
i just started watching bridgerton because my friend from work was hyped about the new season and i’m on episode 4 of queen charlotte (takes place chronologically after season 2 and before season 3) and omggggg so good by far one of my favorite shows so i’m glad to see this in my feed
do people forget that Julia Quinn CHOSE the actors herself??? The only reason netflix even got the rights to the show was because Julia said she needed to be apart of production. I get that making them match the book is cool, but Julia literally chose them 😭😭
Yay! I'm so glad to see this series again! It's definitely one of my favorites! Oh! You should do The Mysterious Benedict Society! Honestly, an amazing book series too, though I have my complaints with the show lmao!
I just got into Bridgerton last week and finished finished season 3 on Thursday. I just ordered the books! I do love the casting and Penelope's actress is incredible and so beautiful as well. They are all beautiful really. I'm excited to see the book descriptions!
Lavender could do you do the A Good Girl’s Guide To Murder series when the TV show comes out in a couple days? Id love to see your interpretation of those characters!
I love the By The Booj series so much! I like how honest and true you try to stay to the book descriptions, because its so satisfying to see it all together as the author describes!! I would love to recommend The Wheel of Time book if it hasn't already been mentioned for a future video! There is a live action series that follows the first book, and I believe there are massive differences between the book and the adaptation that would be interesting to see side by side lol
I just got home from work, my mom is watching this show right now and this video is the first thing I see when I check my RUclips notifications that’s a crazy coincidence lol
As for Colin's fashion - in Eloise's book it's mentioned that all the Brigerton men prefer to dress in black and white and avoid the fashionable colors of the ton.
@@LavenderTowne if you do please also draw Cockroach-Agatha. They totally not included it in the movie, but Agatha does transform into a cockroach to meet Sophie (cause it's forbidden) and she is discribed so well.
@@LavenderTowne Would you please consider drawing the old, masked School Master/young Rafal? The script (NOT the actor) completely ruined his villain plot/characterization because his stated motives weren't the same as they were in the books, meaning, like Lady Danbury no longer being a mentor figure, his role in the narrative changed, unfortunately.
I would love to see LavenderTowne’s take on 100% Wolf by Jayne Lyons. The novel was originally released in 2008 and said novel got an animated movie adaptation in 2020. The movie isn’t completely faithful to the source material since it changes a lot of the lore and designs the characters had in the book. The original book has illustrations done by Victor Rivas, who has a Tim Burton-esque art style. I hope she covers this book and movie for a future video.
oh, i have a suggestion! maybe the characters from the shadowhunters chronicles? :D that netflix show? the books (the mortal instruments by cassandra clare) are really fun and the characters are very interesting, if you want to do it it would be so awesome to see your turn at them!
Having read all of the books I have to say the Netflix adaptation really builds on what is very bare bones in the source material. It’s far more enjoyable than the way the books were originally written and feels like a really incredible new take on a really overly done setting. I’ve never seen a period piece done like that and it’s so refreshing to see :’). The original book designs weren’t necessarily my favourites but the casting choices have been phenomenal as the chemistry by all love interests (season 1 excluded sorry to Simon but oof) has been incredible to watch.
Hiiii! I’m not sure if you have but I think it would be fun if you did a by the book of the outsiders :) I think most of the characters are pretty different from the movie
I lovee all your videos, theyre all so relaxing; Your extremly calming voice, the quiet music in the bg that fit what youre drawing, and of course your really aesthetically pleasing art
it's okay to draw a character as the race as depicted in the book rather than the Netflix adaptation, ya know. the series is called "by the book", after all.

@@Cherry-nu3uo I think you are stretching considering that the freedom penelope experiences due to her assumed spinsterhood than her age.

The reason I enjoy older adaptations (specifically Jane Austen type ones), is that the casts almost always look more realistic. By this I mean that old characters are actually old and wrinkly, "ugly" characters aren't almost always assimilated and cast as conventionally attractive, etc.
OH Book Penelope kinda reminds me of how I look more like me with my natural hair colour but also ah Penelope is such dear character to me
Lady Danbury ended up being my favorite person both in the books and show. They picked a perfect actress to portray her.
yeah! i love her dearly :)
Yeah, if anything, Lady Danbury's looks are very much irrelevant. Some people have complained that the old lady acts "too sassy, too modern" for the time... But if you go to your Jane Austen, old RICH ladies sometimes acted like that because they could. Darcy's aunt Lady Catherine De Bourgh really talked without giving a s*** about other people's opinions. And Emma Woodhouse clearly states that "it's only poverty that makes celibacy unappealing" -quoting from memory, so probably wrong-. Which means that young women trying to marry, and married women of fertile age (all of whom required societal respect and had to act with certain propriety, because paternity DNA tests didn't exist yet, so their behaviour had to always be unimpeachable, out of the slightest sliver of suspicion) had to behave very, very well. Older women without money who depended on the favour of richer friends (who gave them presents of fish and game and stuff) also had to behave a certain way.
But, rich single ladies or rich widows? They could do and say whatever the hell they wanted, and considering most of them had probably gone through the previous stages of losing sleep because of what other people might have thought or said about them, it makes TOTAL sense that those women, at a certain age in their lives, said "f*** off, I'm going to go TOTALLY UNFILTERED now". I love them.
Never seen brigerton but the close up of Penelope looks amazing! Your art style is stunning!
Maybe you could cover The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe? Or Charlotte’s Web? Any sort of childhood classic book would be fun ✨
PLEASE I would adore Narnia btb!
I don't really recall any of the main characters getting that much description
YESSS i love the lion the witch and the wardrobe
I just reread the books and anytime it mentioned that Lucy is blonde with long waves I had to readjust my image of her because the actress just took over the image in my mind!😆
Or for the school of good and evil
The character's eyes in the movie glows a bright red, while in the book, his face is always shrouded in shadow. (I'm talking about the thumbnail)

What was the thumbnail? She changed it >_

I love this series because I cant picture things in my head, so actually designing a character that I can look at while I read is really nice. Currently, I'm reading The Hellbound Heart, because Hellraiser is one of my favorite series out there. I noticed that the characters are described a lot different in the book though, and I wish I had this sort of reference to look at when "imagining" a character, yk?
my mom, aunts, and grandma have been OBSESSED with this series!!! I'm not old enough to watch the series but I love your interpretation and let me just say its reallllyyyyyy cute!!!!!!!
I’d love if you did a By the Book of Stephen Kings IT! The book descriptions of the losers are soo different from the movies (especially the 1990 version!)
Your by the book series is amazing!! I think a by the book for LotR or Shadow and Bone/Six of Crows would be really cool
Would totally love one for Six of Crows❤
I didn’t expect Bridgerton!! Super excited about this - also this is the earliest I’ve been to a video 👀
YOU LOOK SO PRETTY AND ETHEREAL IN THE BEGINNING OMG
I don't know if you saw my comment about some newly rediscovered fairy tales; the holy Trinity of fairy tales; Grimm, Perrault, and Hans Christian Anderson has now become a quartet! Franz Xavier von Schönwerth traveled pretty much everywhere in Bavaria. Most of his work was thought to be lost, until 2009, when 30 boxes of manuscripts were uncovered in a German municipal archive. "The Turnip Princess" was published under Penguin Classics in English in 2015. I'm extremely curious of how you would portray/ interpret the characters of the nearly 70 stories found in this book.
I love this series !! PLEASE do interview with a vampire - it was adapted twice and I'd love to see your interpretation of the characters :)
I think doing an episode on "A Wrinkle in Time" would be good. The mc's little brother's design changed a LOT from the book
i just started watching bridgerton because my friend from work was hyped about the new season and i’m on episode 4 of queen charlotte (takes place chronologically after season 2 and before season 3) and omggggg so good by far one of my favorite shows so i’m glad to see this in my feed
do people forget that Julia Quinn CHOSE the actors herself??? The only reason netflix even got the rights to the show was because Julia said she needed to be apart of production. I get that making them match the book is cool, but Julia literally chose them 😭😭
My favorite video series is back! I really love your drawings, especially the ones you did for the Miss Peregrine characters.
Yay! I'm so glad to see this series again! It's definitely one of my favorites! Oh! You should do The Mysterious Benedict Society! Honestly, an amazing book series too, though I have my complaints with the show lmao!
I haven't actually watched the show, but my mom's loves it! Also your art of the characters are so freaking cute!! 🧡💚
I just got into Bridgerton last week and finished finished season 3 on Thursday. I just ordered the books! I do love the casting and Penelope's actress is incredible and so beautiful as well. They are all beautiful really.
I'm excited to see the book descriptions!
I need to see this for The Outsiders by S.E Hinton, the movie changes the designs so much
Lavender could do you do the A Good Girl’s Guide To Murder series when the TV show comes out in a couple days? Id love to see your interpretation of those characters!
14:33- My friend (60+,F) is fond of saying "Black don't crack!" and she doesn't look a day over 49.
It would be cool if you did Divergent! Ik it’s not a series, but there’s still a few movies.
I love the By The Booj series so much! I like how honest and true you try to stay to the book descriptions, because its so satisfying to see it all together as the author describes!!
I would love to recommend The Wheel of Time book if it hasn't already been mentioned for a future video! There is a live action series that follows the first book, and I believe there are massive differences between the book and the adaptation that would be interesting to see side by side lol
Six Of Crows would be a great series to do, also I love your style it’s so fun!!
I just got home from work, my mom is watching this show right now and this video is the first thing I see when I check my RUclips notifications that’s a crazy coincidence lol
CAN WE TALK ABT LAVANDERS OUTFIT?!?! SHE LOOKS SO PRETTY!!!
As for Colin's fashion - in Eloise's book it's mentioned that all the Brigerton men prefer to dress in black and white and avoid the fashionable colors of the ton.
Can we talk about how stunning lavender tone looks
0:42 awww you’re so adorable! ❤
you're designs are as pretty and well thought as usual^^
Please do Outsiders- especially Dally!!! ❤❤❤
YES I NEED TO SEE THE OUTSIDERS
YES!
I've been binging your vids again while drawing my own Oc's for a novel I hope to actually write lol, love your art!!
By The Book! I'm glad this series is back. 💕
Also your Bridgerton costume is so fun! 🍰
your voice is so soothing and calming like girl slay
You should do this for The School For Good and Evil! The movie got so many things wrong and I would love to see you draw the characters!
I actually think that will be next!
@@LavenderTowne YIPPEE!!!
@@LavenderTowne if you do please also draw Cockroach-Agatha. They totally not included it in the movie, but Agatha does transform into a cockroach to meet Sophie (cause it's forbidden) and she is discribed so well.
@@LavenderTowne Would you please consider drawing the old, masked School Master/young Rafal? The script (NOT the actor) completely ruined his villain plot/characterization because his stated motives weren't the same as they were in the books, meaning, like Lady Danbury no longer being a mentor figure, his role in the narrative changed, unfortunately.
literally just finished season 3 so this is perfect timing for me 🙈
I would love to see LavenderTowne’s take on 100% Wolf by Jayne Lyons. The novel was originally released in 2008 and said novel got an animated movie adaptation in 2020. The movie isn’t completely faithful to the source material since it changes a lot of the lore and designs the characters had in the book. The original book has illustrations done by Victor Rivas, who has a Tim Burton-esque art style. I hope she covers this book and movie for a future video.
oh, i have a suggestion!
maybe the characters from the shadowhunters chronicles? :D that netflix show? the books (the mortal instruments by cassandra clare) are really fun and the characters are very interesting, if you want to do it it would be so awesome to see your turn at them!
Got City of Glass from the library, but I'm finishing the 2nd & 3rd books of Unwind before I'm reading it.
Listening to Collin‘s description in the books I can’t help but picture him as Eddie Redmayne from Fantastic Beasts
This is amazing! I fell in love with the concept, and honestly, I could watch you cover all the seasons up to date without ever getting bored.
Yay new Lavendertowne vid! I love watching your vids while I am drawing
I completely forgot what my username was 💀💀
The art is beautiful! Could you maybe redo the Percy Jackson one with the new Disney show? Shoutout to the lizard- did he get paid?
Having read all of the books I have to say the Netflix adaptation really builds on what is very bare bones in the source material. It’s far more enjoyable than the way the books were originally written and feels like a really incredible new take on a really overly done setting. I’ve never seen a period piece done like that and it’s so refreshing to see :’). The original book designs weren’t necessarily my favourites but the casting choices have been phenomenal as the chemistry by all love interests (season 1 excluded sorry to Simon but oof) has been incredible to watch.
"his resting face appears to be like mewing" I burst out laughing
Hiiii! I’m not sure if you have but I think it would be fun if you did a by the book of the outsiders :) I think most of the characters are pretty different from the movie
My Wife Loves Bridgerton and was super exited about season 3! I love these novel/movie, Comparison/Critique videos. =)
it would be so cool if you did interview with the vampire
You should do interview with the vampire!!
Ooo you have got to do Narnia or Netflix’s Shadow and Bone next
You should do a by the book with Eragon! The adaptation is truly and adaptation of all time
I lovee all your videos, theyre all so relaxing; Your extremly calming voice, the quiet music in the bg that fit what youre drawing, and of course your really aesthetically pleasing art
Actually during that era plumper women were the ideal body type as it showed wealth so she would have been popular
Princess haley omg 💖
wow? You totally got better over the years that Ive been watching your videos. It's noticable. awesome!
it's okay to draw a character as the race as depicted in the book rather than the Netflix adaptation, ya know. the series is called "by the book", after all.
3:47 kinda looks like the sister from princess of egypt
