Well at the moment I am working on a jester costume, and Ive been thinking about it for quite some time and pretty much have exactly what I want figured out in my head. However, end of next year I will hopefully be attending a costuming course at uni, and part of my entry requirements is a portfolio.

So, I am going to draw out and such my jester costume as part of my portfolio. But with such a costume, there are so many variations, for example the makeup. Now Im already pretty set on what make up I want to do, but would it be beneficial for my portfolio to draw in other ideas?

Also, will stuff like historic notes, photo references etc, count for anything generally in a costume portfolio?

Thanks for any help
