Young Elsa

material: pencil and white gel pen on paper, A4
time: sketch: 10 minutes, coloring about 10 hours

This is Elsa as a young teenager looking in a mirror and trying to get to know herself. She has to stay hidden in her room and control her emotions at all times. I wanted to portrait her innocence as well as the insecurity.
I wanted to keep the focus on the face, which is why I kept the background and dress that simple. 

background: 
My son is a big fan of Elsa, he begged me to draw her for him. So I quickly sketched her in my book. Somehow I liked the sketch even though the proportions are not perfect, so I decided to color it. If I knew back then how much effort I would put into the colors, I would have been more careful with the lineart, especially the lips and eyes.
