The Twelve Dancing Princessesby *Himmapaan

Traditional Art / Paintings / Illustration / Storybook

*Updated 6th July, 2010. New scan of original artwork. Please see this journal entry for further explanation.

----------

'What was that noise?'

Illustration for The Twelve Dancing Princesses, from The Red Fairy Book, edited by Andrew Lang; published by The Folio society, 2008. [link]

Pen & ink and watercolour on Arches cold pressed, 245 x 185mm.

Because one is generally not allowed to have the best of all worlds, although it is better to have this new scan of the original, the clarity of the youngest princess's face has somehow been compromised. So here is a seperate little scan of it just to show you that it was properly executed...

The Twelve Dancing Princesses by ~Himmapaan
The suggester writes: "himmapaan is a relatively new user here on dA and his gallery hasn't had much attention. Which is a pity, since it's full of stunning images. 'The Twelve Dancing Princesses' is an illustration which combines incredible watercolour skills and detailed technique with a touch of fairytale magic, creating a real eye-candy". I could not agree more. 'The Twelve Dancing Princesses' I regularly read to my little girl, and this illustration is truly worthy of a much loved story.
