A princess in an ornate gown with a floral headpiece and a jeweled medallion sash. Medium — great for kids.
An ornate gown can carry the richest palette on this page: deep teal, burgundy, or royal purple for the dress, with the medallion sash in gold and its central jewel in a contrasting ruby or sapphire. The floral headpiece is your garden accent — mixed pinks, coral, and white blooms with green leaves will glow against a dark gown.
Work small to large here. Color the headpiece flowers and the medallion first, while your pencil is sharpest and your hand freshest, then fill the big gown around them. The sash crosses the dress diagonally, so shade it as its own band — slightly darker where it passes behind the medallion. A gold gel pen traced along the medallion’s rim lifts it off the dress like real metal.
