meher-sketchbook post #1
for my historical figure i decided to go with the woman who inspired my name. she's now known as nur jahan, an empress during the mughal era in india. but ORIGINALLY, her name was mehr-un-nisa (get it? mehr=meher??). as it turns out, she was more influential than her husband, the emperor, because he was too busy getting drunk and doing opium to figure things out for himself. it's nice to know the other meh(e)r was such an influential and intelligent person.
i'm rather excited about the black and white, and i decided to work with some layering, which i don't have a lot of experience with. hopefully it turns out well!
