The Twelve Dancing Princesses - Sketching Completed

Somethings done.

Something that I've been working on for a long time.

Well, ok, this phase of something is done....





The princesses....they are all sketched and on the wall.  I know the next phase is the hardest one: actually painting them directly on there...but allow me a moment to just soak in the enjoyment of this part being done.

Let me introduce them all to you.  Some you've met, some you haven't.

Princess Willemina

Princess Theodora


Princess Delphina

Princess Julia

Princess Petra

Princesses Gayle and Edith
Princess Jessica
Princess Cheyenne

Princess Adeline


Princess Alexandretta

and Princess Etienne
Princess Etienne close up
If Princess Etienne, the only princess alert and aware of her surroundings, looks familiar...well, she should.  I have always put myself in her shoes when I read the story, so I decided to reward myself for completing the set of twelve by making her a lookalike!

  5. I did immediately think Princess Etienne looked like you! How wonderful. I love the way you have drawn the clothes, I can imagine the richness of their dress. And the starlight background is so pretty. Minerva ~
