Disney Princesses

Disney Princesses 

By: Chabe Escalante

This was done as a quick thing for my Illustration class in uni last year. I seriously hate the way I did her torso on this now that I look at it... Oh well, I at least like the colours? Anyway, this is another of my characters, Erzsebet Herdevary (yes, her namesake is a reference to a Hetalia character XD)- she is also from the comic I’ve been working on forever but have made no progress in, haha. Anyway, like usual, this was inked with a pilot g tec black pen in .04 size, coloured with Copic and Prismacolour markers, and the effects were done with Akashiya Sai watercolour brush pens and Lindy’s Stamp Gang magicals (in Mad Hatter Mint and Ponderosa Pine Green).

I finished this while watching Tangled (which is one of my favorite movies)- I know that the darkness in her hair isn’t accurate nor does it look blonde, but it looked just fine before I inked the hair. Oh well, live and learn- besides, I still like it, so hopefully you do, too! I did this in mostly Copic and Prismacolor markers, but I used one Promarker as well. I also used pink, purple, and white gel pens for the details in her dress and eyes, and a Pilot g-tec .04 pen for the inking.

This is my current header image. I created this using prismacolor markers, promarkers, and copic markers, along with blue, purple and white gel pens and a Pilot G Tec .04 gel pen for the inking. I wanted something that would reflect me and my style of work, so I did something with emphasis on the hair (since most of my work features hair as the focal point or the most detailed part of the picture).

This is my first post on inking- I have prelims, sketches, and finished pieces, but not inking, so I figured this would be a perfect start. This is a fan piece I did of Cardia, the main heroine in Code Realize ~The Guardian of Rebirth~ on the PS Vita. I have only played the prologue and the first chapter at my best friend's place (she introduced it to me- as with Hakuoki, which I also love dearly!), but I fell in love with it very quickly as I love otome games and Steampunk- it was the perfect storm! Anyway. This piece was inked with a G Tec Pilot black pen in .04, on smooth Bristol in the 300 series by Strathmore, like most of my work. The size is 11x14 instead of my usual 9x12 since I wanted to extend her skirt. Smooth Bristol is probably my favourite paper ever- it can handle marker VERY well and even watercolour, but the latter takes practise, so I wouldn't recommend it for beginners. Though, it definitely is the most versatile paper I've ever used- plus, it's very easily accessible and almost always has a deal on so I can get it for cheaper than usual! :D
