An 18th Century Wig Study
 
So I got bored...lol obviously and I decided to draw the awesomeness that are wigs from the 18th century. Turns out a good picture of those types of wigs are very hard to find.

on that ship one...omg...I almost looked up captain hook's boat, from the Disney movie, for a reference. I decided not to and it came out looking crappy. :\
Heart shaped wigs were apparently the most popular but all I could think of was "why does it look like I'm drawing a giant ass on her head." "Why am I dressing up a giant butt on someone's head?!"
Please don't focus on their lack of body parts...it's all about the wigs.

I'm not really an artist, so I'm definitely not the best critic, but I think your drawings look really good. Hehe, now I really wish that we had these hairstyles to choose from on Menewsha. :)

Those are great! Did you know that the Pope had to decree that no female could wear more than 27 pounds in things in her hair in church? I've always wondered how they weighed that! He did that because the opulent hair arrangements were such a distraction!! :roll: :lol:

yes moving parts, ships, and birds can be a little distracting. I've pretty much beat everything I could out of google and wikipedia about those wigs.
[you know in the Victorian era they nearly wiped out half the bird population because they used just about every kind and every part of a bird on their hats.]

@Pixore If a pixel artist could put these on a menewsha base I think I'd declare them a God.

Thanks guys ^-^

I'm loving the ship. Wigs are so much fun to draw.

*dies laughing* omg! before i read your comment about the heart shaped wig i thought it was really sweet and dainty. but then you started mentioning butts and dressing a butt, i couldnt stop laughing xDD

but still, i love the detail you put into the wig design ^_~ you silly gurl x3

xD I love wigs from that time period. I always wondered how they kept their necks from breaking, with elaborate hairdos like that.

Very nice job!

Lol, good thing they're just wigs! It'd be crazy if they had that much hair. o__o;;

I really like the ship one, it makes the hair look like they're waves or something. x3 Very nice. <3

O_____O
They're amazing!
I love the details you put on them x3

The detail is amazing, I think they're wonderful looking. I'd love to see more detail on the women, the wigs look like their going to fall thought, but I don't know if that was what you were aiming for.

RyaLee 01-04-2008 02:19 AM

@Penny : Thanks, yes they are ^-^
@Wish : Thank you :D
@Wasashu : lol yeah it's all I could think about :lol:
@Dystopia : Impeccable Balance lol
@Suppi : I've seen some people with a lot of hair. I couldn't find a good Ship wig picture to base it on but I'm sure there was at least one wig maker that thought if he pinned the curls to the side of the boat they would look like waves.
@Amiiu : Thank you ^_^ I'm a sucker for details.
@Poisonous Candy : yes well it is just a study of 'Wigs' next I'll do the dresses...maybe. and I'm not sure what you mean by "the wigs look like their going to fall thought" they look sturdy to me, the heart one looks a little crooked but I think they look really sturdy. :?

Hehe, I hope the ship wouldn't be too heavy then! I wouldn't like walking around with a bunch of weight on my head.. but I guess they really cared about looks and stuff. x3
