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.

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

Thank you very much! I stared at that painting for a long time, let me tell you! I had to layer the very bright colors of my pencil set rather a lot to get those muted tones. ^-^ I'm glad you like the way the dress turned out! The sleeve folds were fun to work with, and I'm very flattered by your compliment regarding my use of a pencil. :D
