A princess face close-up wearing a jeweled crown and earrings, with long flowing hair. Medium — great for kids.
With the face this close, the crown is the whole show: color it gold and set a different jewel in each point — ruby, sapphire, emerald — so it glitters in several colors at once. The earrings should match one of the crown jewels. Hair can carry the portrait: golden blonde, chestnut, or black all work, so pick the one that contrasts most with the gold.
Color the long hair in long, flowing strokes that follow its direction, never across it, and leave a few thin white streaks along the curves where light would catch. Work the strands darker underneath and lighter on top. Finish the eyes last, with a dark, glossy pupil and a tiny uncolored highlight dot, because the gaze is where this portrait lives.
