'Portrait' - Illustration Friday

"Lady of the Lake"
(watercolor & colored pencil)
I messed with this quite a bit, tried one version on wood (see previous post), tried inking it, etc. And in the end, I think it's my original sketch that I like the best. =)

Beautiful portrait! I love the soft blue tones, and the use of the white pencil to define sections of the hair.

Captivating portrait! They're both great ~ I like the watery/bubbly quality to the finished one. Thanks for sharing your sketch as well.

I love this piece! The colors and textures are fantastic. I like the one on wood, too, but this one seems to work better.

Thanks for stopping by my blog!

This is lovely. I would also love to see your sketch as a painting. I'm in love with your color combination - it works great with the illustration as it helps set the mood.
