Description
Ref from [link]Used derwent watercolour pencils until I got sick of them, then used crayola coloured pencils. 15x20cm. 7 hours.
*Edit*
Fixed up some of the shading, the hair especially, and got a better scan.

Nice. I like how you used a limited color palette for this. The black background is nice as it helps the rest kinda pop out. Did you use pencils for it too or ink? I also like how only two spots on her are black and the rest is white, blue and purple.

Ethereal! Was the dark background done in pencils as well, then?

I did the background in graphite and then darkened the scan, but I've since gone over it with black coloured pencil.
