inspired by tim burton's white queen.
the trick to doing goth is not going the prepackaged predictable route. yes, goth lacks color, but instead of black, try white. focus on drawing from the actual gothic period. do it right & people might not even notice you did it.

she's lovely, but the look is a bit harsh for reality.
so, soften the lines by using a red lip stain instead of a lipstick. leave them matte & keep the eyes soft.

black & red lace are predictable. instead, go for something that might fit in a brontë novel. the pure lack of color keeps it gothic.
