My Miss Havisham Design Ideas


Under eye dark circles 


I would like to create under eye dark circles for my Miss Havisham because her life clock stops at twenty to nine on her wedding day, since then she doesn't have the concept of time. As this happening, she will not have enough sleep because she doesn't know when to go to bed. She will only fall asleep for a short time when she is too tired to continue being awake.


Skinny



As Miss Havisham has lost her time of life, so she will not be eating properly neither. I will try to creating some shadows underneath the cheekbones to show the emaciated face, also some shadows on the collar bones so the whole image looks equilibrium. The picture above are twins Maria and Katy. They are only in their thirties, but they look much older than their actual age. This proves that when people are too skinny, they will look older and unhealthier. With this in mind, I will try to make my Miss Havisham looks elderly , although Dickens's own notes indicate that she is only in her mid-fifties.


Cracked Lips


Miss Havisham is wearing her wedding dress all the time in her cold ruined mansion. Although she seems not feeling cold but her body reacts. In order to show this, my Miss Havisham will have cracked bleeding lips, because when people stay in a freezing place their lips colour turns slightly pale, purple and becomes really dry.
