Description
Hi!This was hard. Sometimes, I just got so irritated that I abandoned this idea. It was too much work. But I then realized that it was good practice, so I continued and preserved. I know this is nowhere as good as many of the others.. But at least, I want to try
Allmost all cred to the photographer of this reference picture : [link] Cristina, a spanish girl who are truly an amazing photographer!
Then again, it's for the Draw-Along contest!

Which is an awesome group with an real purpose!
Haha, sounds like I'm sucking up.. Though I'm just speaking my mind. xD
Now, on to materials used:
Little sister's colour pencils, had to blend many colours because there wasn't that many different colours. I used HB and B. Eraser and blender. The paper I used happened to be sketch paper... So the whole drawing is kinda curving up xD
The title comes from the Little Mermaid. I think she kinda looks a bit like Ariel? With bright red hair and her blue eyes, also the green around her... But maybe it's just me? xD

If you look very good to the painting you can see that her mouth on the right side does not go out far enough. I worked a lot with colourpencils and there is an enormous difference in quality. I mostly use Caran d'ache watercolours soft 2, they work the best for me. That you did this drawing wth your little sister pencils is incredible couse the colours look very like the original photo. My compliments. Also with this drawing you can make round curves in the face but also in the grapes. And where the light on the grapes let dissapear the line you could also draw no line and leave it open, if you know what I mean. My old teacher always told me, "lines have to dissapear". It will improve the volume. Beautiful how you did her eye!!!
