Rapunzel



So this weekend I was working on my Rapunzel picture. I must say I am really proud of this one. The layout may be simple, but I love the way I colored her. I really am improving my marker skills. Originally I was planning on printing out the picture of the sun and trace it, but I decided against it for I felt it wouldn't look as natural. I never drew the Tangled sun symbol before, and I think it turned out nice. She is also inked in purple pen.

Just like my Elsa picture, I'll give a list of colors I used.

Skin: E51, E00, E21, BV31
Bodice: V01, BV00, BV11
Skirt: V05, V15, V17
Ties and lace: RV11, RV93, RV95, RV42
Sleeves: R00, RV11, RV34
Hair: Y15, Y19, YR23
Eyes: G43, YG63, C9
Pascal: YG45
Background: Y08, V09, V17, RV91

And just to compare, here are a couple pictures I did of Rapunzel a couple years ago.

Queen Elsa


Hello everyone. I hope your 2014 has started off good. Since I created my one picture of Elsa, I wanted to make another picture of Elsa in her coronation dress (which is my favorite dress that she's in). I just love the color the dress has, and I especially love the cape in which the warm colors really enhance the cooler ones on her dress. 

The only part that was a bit challenging was her hair. Elsa is a platinum blonde, and wanted to make sure her hair wasn't very yellow. So I added some bits of gray in there to help tone it down.

List of Colors:
-Hair: Y000, Y11, Y32, W2 Prismacolor French gray
-Dress: T4, T5, T8- BG72, BG75, BG78-YR23, YR15, Y19, Y28
-Cape: RV19, V06, RV66- V95
-Skin: E50, E000, E51
-Glove: BG13, BG15

Title: Queen Elsa
Paper: 9x12 Strathmore Smooth Bristol
Medium: Copic markers with a little colored pencil for minor details, and white gel pen
