Hi Wasgodx. Nice study, you've done really well with the colours. I like how you've written notes on top of the painting - I often write my notes separately but then I can't find them again so they're useless. I should try this.
On clothing studies, it depends what it is you want to study. If you want to study the way that fabric drapes and looks under different lighting, sometimes the easiest thing to do is to get a couple of pieces of fabric from your own house (clothes, curtains etc), drape them over a chair or other form and point a lamp at them. Most people can find a few different types of fabric around their house.
If it's more the way that clothing fits on the body, I like to do studies from street fashion photography or even online catalogs.
For a specific time period or style, the internet is full of photography and people who like to dress up:
1960s Mens Fashion
Viking Clothing
And of course you can get all the history, too:
Viking Clothing history
So just pick what you want to study and go for it :-)
