{fanart} Morgana Lisa

So, this is for the "style of famous artists" challenge at [livejournal.com profile] drawmelot. I chose DaVinci's Mona Lisa, with Morgana as La Joconde. Anyone see Camelot? :D

Big thanks to [livejournal.com profile] reni_m, [livejournal.com profile] yue_ix and [livejournal.com profile] amphigoury for the beta help!

Medium was watercolor pencil on sketchbook paper.

Very in the style!! Soft and warm, just like the original! Love the addition of the castle in the background! Well done!!

Wow, this turned out lovely! I love how delicate her hands are and all the background work.

Oh wow, that's gorgeous! I love the softness, and colours, and the castle. Very very pretty. :)

Oh I love how you replicated the aged warm colors in this.
Definitely a 'before they were evil' portraits, Morgana is so soft looking in this.
Camelot Castle looks great in the background!!
Fantastic job!!

This is wonderful! I love her hair and her eyes, and the softness of the background is fabulous! Great job!

Hee. I see Camelot!

It's really cool how you captured the entire *feel* of the painting with the soft lines and muted tones. Also, Morgana's dress is gorgeous! And you still managed to work the sleeve folds in there. *g* Your pencil work is SUPERB.

Definitely one of my favourites for this challenge. :D

Yay, it is done! You really got a great colour scheme going on that has a perfect aged painting feel to it. The mix of browns and purples in her hair and clothes make lovely nuanced shadows. Her face and hands stand out nicely. I love how you ended up dressing her, too, and the hint of Camelot.

My favourite bit is her eyes. You made them so well, I feel we could crop everything else out and know at once it's her.
