Artist's Comments

OMG, something in color!! O_O

I bought some Prismacolor colored pencils several months back, and never used them. However, in a burst of creativity, I decided to try them out, and viola, this drawing of Elphaba came about. It's based on a photo of Idina Menzel from the Grimmerie.

It is completely photo-accurate? No. But it's my first ever colored pencil drawing, and I'm pleased with how it turned out.

Colored pencil and chalk.

wow the green eyes are very striking, which is saying something as her whole face is green. Great work! I'll have to check these colour pencils out :D

The hands especially are very well done - they look amazing.
