Week Two - #6

My last post was about a reference I made of the fairy queen including a more traditional portrait of a medieval queen. I decided to replicate this image on a A2 sheet by hand. At this point in my project, I am exploring using color in my piece of artwork. I was never very good at painting with color as charcoal portraits were my strong suit, but I want to challenge myself for this project. I made a mockup of this portrait with color pencils. It had been ages since I have used color pencils for a piece of artwork, and I felt that the quality didn’t come out as I hoped for. However, I am happy with the scale of the piece of work, and I am happy with her stoic stance and facial expression. I did not have time to finish this iteration as the whole item took me six hours to complete just this version.
