Today I've begun to sketch some ideas for the ice palace featured in the story. Although the words "ice palace" makes me imagine of many different ideas, I didn't want to just draw what I first came to me, so I started by drawing buildings from life including Winchester church which looked quite elaborate and grand, similar to what I had in mind for the ice palace. I also sketched some palaces from the 1800s.
Aside from drawing real buildings I did some study sketches of ice stalactites and icebergs; things made of ice that had a certain structure to them. I think icebergs are great for this as they are quite isolated yet grand to look at which is how the ice palace is portrayed as - it is a representation of the Snow Queen herself - as she is is also an isolated and beautiful figure.
I am going to use both within my design for the palace.
