#FebOutlining I do draw my characters! I work incredibly slow because of injury, but I love being able to create my own visual aids. Plus I hope to use them as refs when/if I commission professional art. (Which I hope will happen this year, I've started my piggy bank… 👀)

Doodles of two men wearing baldrics and rapiers over aristocratic 1660s garb: short doublets, petticoat breeches, stockings, high-heeled shoes, billowing shirts, big hats with huge ostrich feathers, and tons and tons of ribbon. On the left is a short young blond white boy with blue eyes, wearing blue, pink, and silver; he has a blue-dyed ostrich feather plus two pheasant feathers in his hat. He's got a cute heart-shaped face. On the right is a tall adult white man with dark hair and eyes, a mustache and goatee, wearing purple, black, and gold, plus bright red stockings. He has a long face with some subtle smallpox scars.Lots of chibi faces of characters from a 1660-set adventure novel.

🗓️DAY 3 - Trial of King Charles I 23rd January 1649 The House of Commons ordered that in writs, patents, commissions, indictments, process, and proceedings in Courts of Justice, the authority of the king should be replaced by that of Parliament. Not a good sign.

To Sir W. Pen’s (though much against my will, for I cannot bear him, but only to keep him from complaint to others that I do not see him) to see how he do, and find him pretty well, and ready to go abroad again.

George Fox died on this day in 1691 at the age of 66. We know him as a brilliant preacher, networker, and a fan of good hats. We should also remember him for his incredible immune system because I’m honestly not sure how he survived prisons or transatlantic travel!

WHY DID THE WARS OF THE ROSES BEGIN, how did women help shape the political crises, what weapons were used, and just when did the wars even end? All questions Nicola Tallis and I cover during our week-long upcoming online course. More info below:
