Description
Did you know that people in the middle ages plugged the hair on their forehead, because this "high forehead" was an ideal of beauty at this time? Today it looks quite strange
.Well I found a portrait of a lady in some newspaper and made a fotograph of it to use it later as reference. Obviously I didn´t take the face/head as reference, but I like the outcome still.
I´ve been thinking about having a princesslike character in my planned stories, but I still have to think about it, because I don´t want the character to be too flat...

Thanks! This one was also pretty much fun. I like getting inspired by different pieces of art and give them my personal touch

There's a book you might like called The Historical Encyclopedia of Costumes by Albert Racinet I have which I cannot recommend enough. You might want to get your hands on a copy, because there is a ton of material in it that you might find inspiring. Also, here's a link to a woman on YouTube whose videos have been extremely helpful to me as well with my writing. www.youtube.com/user/ProfHalla… Her videos are really entertaining, too.

Oh, I looked for it and we even have this book in our university library, so I could go and just scan it (or at least part of it for a start
Thank you, it really looks interesting, as wel does the youtube channel!

I can't remember if I've suggested this site to you already or not, but just in case I haven't, here's a link to a writing podcast that has been of tremendous help to me over the years. writingexcuses.com/ They cover a lot of different aspects of fantasy and science fiction writing but also characters, plot structure, and everything else. It's really insightful hearing some professionals discuss the tricks of the trade, and the best part is, it's free. Don't let the volume of episodes intimidate you, either. You can easily search through them based on the subject matter and... they're usually only about 20 minutes tops each. It's right there in the motto: "15 minutes long, because you're in a hurry, and we're not that smart."

Thank you! Actually it´s really good that you tell me, sometimes I don´t realise my drawings are to dark or something. I really cannot tell sometimes. I fell like my drawings look different in contrast and brightness on every screen...
