Description This was inspired by the Three Colours Contest on AmateurArtistArmy! The rules were to create an artwork using only the colours blue, pink, and green.
I didn't finish it in time, though. (Plus I broke the rules by using grey ) But I strongly encourage you to check out all the participants' entries, because they're all amazing and super creative amateurartistarmy.deviantart.c…
I really like this piece, because I don't usually draw that many details, or a background for that matter... (plus I think I really nailed her posture and facial expression) (and the braid! I always suck at drawing braids). Didn't really know where I was going with that, though - she could be a mermaid, a nymph, a fairy, or just a human with very creative hair and body art

I used regular colour pencils, gel pens and a blue ballpoint pen for her body (I hadn't used gel pens in ages!!), and a Staedtler pigment liner (in 0.3mm I believe).

For me, the details on the hair, body and background - but not the face - suggest that the person is hiding something dark in their mind, and use colour to express themselves externally so that other people don't see it. The background makes the character stand out really well.

Oh wow! Thank you very much (for your comment, and for the fav!) This is one of the best comments I've ever gotten... I'm glad that my piece inspired you an interpretation of it - and I quite like it, to be honest!
