The Making of Princess El Layout

Here are some photos I took of the "creative process" (which really just means making a big mess while trying again and again until it comes out the way you want it to).


Some sketches I did while contemplating what to do:



A dry run on the background - hated the white for the sunlight, the buttercup paint was much better. I tossed this one.


Crowns, crowns everywhere, but not a crown to keep. Tried out sveral crowns before finding one that looked regal enough. (The skunk you see sketched out did not make the final cut.)


Trying hard to get the fairy image to show well enough to photograph, print out and color in. Why go through all that? Well the real image is facing the wrong way and I needed to reverse it in PS. If you look at the photos below and compare them to the finished LO, you'll see the fairies are facing different directions.
