Vestal virgin - reference study (Patreon)

So, I thought I'd give you all a look of what I've been working on!

I'm drawing a comic set in ancient Rome - it's an adaptation of a book, A Friend of Caesar by William Stearns Davis. I wrote the script myself, unsure where I would find a fitting artist to it, but now that I'm able to start doing comics full time, I'm drawing it myself! One of the main characters is a priestess of Vesta. I wasn't entirely confident that I was getting her clothing quite right, and I'll have to figure out how to execute this kind of garment in a satisfyingly accurate way that'll still match my own drawing style, but these are two study drawings I've done based on statues of Vestals I've found online.
