Different styles of female profiles from Cartooning the Head & Figure by Jack Hamm.I'm starting to decide on the look for my main character. Her only oddity will be eyes that are a little too far apart, as long as that doesn't look creepy. I've decided to model her somewhat after actress Gene Tierney. Aside from her beauty, there were a couple of other coincidences that helped me decide to choose her. Gene played Belle Starr in 1941, who I am a distant relative of on the Shirley side of the family. In 1946, she starred in W. Somerset Maugham's The Razor's Edge, which happens to be one of my favorite books (if you don't believe me, you can take a look at my 'About Me').
My main character won't really be considered pretty like Gene, but the hairstyle, cheeks, and slight overbite will be a caricaturization of her.
