Mainly because I realized I needed to spend WAY more time on basic head studies. XD

On the other hand, we live in an era where typing "tiara" or "diadem" into Etsy gets you LOTS of inspirational photos. :D This one was what I found inspirational but I took MAJOR liberties with the design; I wasn't trying for a really literal interpretation of the design.

She looks every inch a queen - love how you did her cloud of hair!

[yhlee]

Thanks! I thought a very loose, hmm, impressionistic (???) approach would work better to suggest the masses of curls so as not to pull focus away from the face and tiara. XD

She looks like one of my aunts, though I am not nearly as pretty as she is. BWee!

[yhlee]

BWAH. XD

[amberdreams]

Bootiful!

[yhlee]

Thank you!

[goss]

Yay, tiara! I really like how you captured her features with pencil, and her expression especially. <333

That elven one you linked to is gorgeous! Imagine if we went about wearing tiaras like that every day, just as a regular accessory. *___*

Thank you! I am not a tiara-wearing person but I realized I could DRAW them and have all the tiara joy that way. XD

ABSOLUTELY gorgeous!!

[yhlee]

Thank you!

She's so stunning and regal. ♡♡♡ I love her expression and her hair, and obviously her tiara (and I think searching for inspiration on etsy instead of in google images is a really cool way to go about it)!

[yhlee]

Thank you!

Let's just say I spend more time on Etsy than is strictly good for me, so why not use that power for good instead of evil lolol. XD

[facethestrange]

BWAH. :D I only go to etsy when something gets linked somewhere or if it randomly shows up in google results, and then I'm always floored by two things: the absolute awesomeness of things there and the frakking PRICES, so I kinda just close the page and back away slowly. ;D

Beautiful! Her features are so well done.

[yhlee]
