There’s a new Disney Princess artwork page header on the Disney Store website with some of the girls having slightly different hairstyles.  I don’t agree with all of the changes (Belle looks like she’s been through a wind tunnel and gone all TOWIE/Jersey Shore with extensions) but it’s nice to see change in the official art since it’s usually so boringly static. 

This was a 44,444th pageview kiriban on deviantArt for IdentityCrisis01, brief was to draw hanboks (Korean traditional dresses) so for me that naturally became Princesses in hanboks. This was fun because the dresses are so gorgeous, I tried to keep them looking traditional while keeping each princess’s style.

Watercolour and fine marker.

“The Disney Princesses at high tea, drawn to look like their film’s ages (Snow White is 75, Cinderella is 62, Aurora is 53, etc.). More grande dame than goofy. The ‘younger’ Princesses could be drawn as toddlers or young women” for mdmbrightside.   Seeing as they needed a common environment despite their various fairytale eras I brought them all together into an edwardian afternoon tea setting, hope that’s ok. 

The nice stepsisters.

I seem to always have a lot of symphaty for characters that aren’t really genuinely evil, they’ve just been made that for the circumstances of storytelling.

Messing around in my sketchbook on the topic of fan art cliches…

There are certain themes that keep coming around again and again in fan art.  Pin-ups probably being the most popular one.  I don’t want to do a proper series of them because they have been done to death but it’s just too irresistible to not draw them from time to time.

Compilation of all of my designer princess watercolours in one image. 

Texture from here, originally from the Disney Store website though so I figured it would go well with this.

Designer princess Cinderella.  Good thing Charming’s there to pick up things after her.  It was my first time drawing Prince Charming and gosh he’s much more difficult than other princes to draw since he’s a real babyface.  It’s a fine line between a beautiful man and a woman in a suit orz… I hope it looks sorta ok.

Quick Cinderella sketch.  ‘Sing Sweet Nightingale’ is one of the sweetest songs in Disney films.
