Description Trying out my new Polychromos on a portrait of my little princess. We don't get snow where we live so that element has been added from imagination.

Splendid realism and really wonderful colors! If I may be genuine I confess thats gotta be be the coolest piece of winter gear ever! Her majesty's crown is adorable and you've visualized it and her in marvelous fashion.
Great Great piece! Seasons Greetings :3

Thank you! Yes I love the hat, alas it is getting too small for her already, so I will have to look for a new crown soon.

Gosh looking back at this piece has made me realise I need to get the Polychromos out again as it's been too long!

Thank you. It has made me want to pick up the Polychromos again as it's been a long time since I did anything with colour pencil

This is so good, how do you get such awesome results with colored pencils??

Thank you. I am still learning but I found the quality of the pencil makes such a difference. I used Faber Castell Polychromos for this piece and the colours the pencils give is amazing! I also use burnishers and blenders to create smooth colour changes and tonal variations.

Maybe there was a glitch, it's the Traditional 2nd Place ("2nd Place: Traditional

Thank you. This is my first portrait with my Polychromos and I have to say that I am really happy with the richness and vibrancy of their colour. They are definitely worth the expense!
