I am happy to hear it. It was greatly inspired by this book: colo-ro.tumblr.com/post/505018…
Illustrated by Adriana Mihăilescu – my favorite Romanian illustrator.

This is beautiful! I love the style. It reminds me of stained glass or perhaps a tapestry. And I really like the subtle swirly lines of her hair.

Thank you very much. It is greatly influenced by a book illustrated by Adriana Mihăilescu, so it is not very original. I vaguely remembered the book and the illustrations when I did this drawing but after some research I found it: [link] . The subtle swirly lines of the hair were a necessity after I accidently made her hair black instead of the dark brown I wanted. I must have been wool gathering, but the black was too ostentatious and swallowing the entire drawing and the white swirly lines was all I could do to salvage it.

Interesting stylization. I like the decorative feel of it. Did you have a specific art style as inspiration?

When I was little I found a book at the local library, it only had a few pages, and I don’t remember the story being all to interesting, but it had this absolutely amazing drawings, and if I like something it gets stuck in my head. I am certain my drawing doesn’t look anything like those in the book, but this is how I remember them, and also the book had nothing to do with the frog prince.

Oh, yes, pleas do talk to me more often!
It’s not only because we talked about the frog prince that I made this, but I also think the princess has something very Romanian about her, although I can’t put my finger on exactly what…
