Description
Holy cow! A DD? Thank you, thank you! Have some errands to do this morning, but will reply to comments tonight.I've been wanting to do pictures of characters in The Nutcracker for a few years now. I had sketches of the Sugar Plum Fairy, but never really liked them until I forced myself to disassociate the characters from the ballet (no ballerina could dance in this costume) and release myself from the constraints of 'traditional' ballet attire. I had a lot of fun doing this piece and am eager to start on my next detailed colored pencil. (Yes, Romeo and Juliet are finally getting their turn).
Prismacolor colored pencils, some Photoshop to adjust the bad lighting in my apartment.

Thank you! It's funny, some of my stuff I like the sketch better after I'm done with the final. Maybe it's something about the spontaneous feeling of a rough sketch that can often get lost in a polished final piece?

yeah, that's why at least for some of the pictures it seems better not to erase when I ink over, it seems more real that way. but even without the spontanaity this is still a really pretty picture

DUDE! I totally remember you! You left a comment on my first drawing test with Prismacolor pencils and even gave me a tip. I remember commenting on this drawing way before it was a DD. When I saw this on the bottom of the page where they show Daily Deviations, I couldn't help but notice and remember. Congratulations on the DD! You deserve it.

I'm very much a sucker for bright rainbow colors and fantasy settings and mythical creatures of the female persuasion. Exceptionally drawn !

Thank you! It was so fun to draw. I want to get a better photo of this piece though. Lighting was a tad off and so the colors aren't as vibrant in here.
