Silhouette Contd.

Using further characteristics from my bank of eccentric hair images, I created a hairstyle on my dolls head at home which I then had to replicate in class. The hairstyle was shot as a silhouette so shape was very important to the design of my hairstyle. I was inspired by my final hair plan for Miss Havisham which had a lot of shape created by tonging, frizzing and backcombing the hair.
Here is the image I bought into class of my creation at home…
This original style was far too contemporary and didn’t include enough Victorian detail. Therefore, in class, I opted for a smoothed over top portion and included an accessory to add to the silhouette’s formation. This is the silhouette I created in my lesson...

I am pleased with this silhouette and I really love the detailing in the shape created from the texture. I still feel it lacks the tradition of a Victorian hairstyle. To make it adhere to the era more, I would bring the front portion of the hair forward to resemble the generic style from my Victorian hair research.
