Week 37: Queen

I was inspired by a history lesson I covered with a year 5 class. The children had researched Henry VIII and his wives, and their task was to create a booklet about the wives. I drew some quick sketches on the  whiteboard to help out the children who were finding it hard to simplify the portraits we'd found.
In the back of my mind I'd been thinking, for some time, about developing these sketches - or at least recreating them. There's nothing like fresh lines of a spontaneous sketch - and recreating them from memory doesn't often work, but these will keep me happy for now.
To help you out, they are:
Catherine of Aragon, Anne Boleyn,  Jane Seymour, Anne of Cleves, Catherine Howard and Katharine Par
