Artist's Comments

Please full view this piece! Thanks! :heart:

Both ~KarrinGray and *ioyousbook suggested that coloring the queen and her handmaiden sketch that I posted earlier would be perfect for this piece! :D So, on their advice, I colored it this evening. Some of the delicacy of shading was lost in the scan, but most of it was captured. I'm still a little fuzzy on properly using colored pencils, so excuse the roughness around the edges. :giggle:

Many thanks to and for inspiring me to color this!!!!! :hug:

Materials: Prisma colored pencils, Steadtler pigment lineres, sketchpad

Thanks! I'm really pleased with how the colors came out--especially since I tend to really hold back with colored pencils (fear of ruining a picture, I guess)! :giggle:

Gorgeous! I love how you did the queen's hair, especially. That is just a lovely color. And of course, the pink and blue and purple work really well together.
