I saw "Brave" a several weeks ago, and loved it. I thought I'd take on a portrait of Merida.
If you're interested...
This portrait was created with NuPastel pastels and Stabilo CarbOthello pastel pencils on Canson paper. I also used SpectraFix fixative throughout the process. The underpanting for her hair was put on, and then smudged. The final layers were applied without smudging to maintain the vibrant color.
