Description

I finally did this drawing, I've wanted to draw it since I found it in a magazine. I was bored at work and saw this picture in a magazine (lunch room) it was a very old magazine by the looks of it, so I decided to steal it, I felt bad ripping it out, but otherwise I would never have been able to draw it.

The picture caught my attention straight away, it is a gorgeous picture of Princess Mary. She is getting out of a car, with 2 red jacket people at the doors, I thought it looked great, but I finished her, then my mum said I shouldn't do any more cause it looks great...so I didn't do anymore, I may add some more later, but for now here it is.

I finished it today 19.02.08, took me approximately 4 hours...+-1/2 hour. I used water colour pencils. Faber-Castell, Skin colour 132 (I was amazed, she was actually mostly skin colour), Yellow 104, 107, 109 (mostly for head piece, but 109 was used for her skin), Orange 115 (skin, dress), Red 118 (skin, dress), Maroon 126 (Cherries), Black 199 (Hair, shading etc etc).

I used all the reds and yellows in my set, pretty much...it's a "ART GRIP AQUARELLE" set of 24...however I decided not to water it, I am happy enough with the vibrant colour water colours give off already, I was scared wetting it would do something weird...and sorry about all that info... I was bored and actually knew what I had used.
