Description
My submission for 's Mystery Contest.This is Morgana, nun, queen and sorceress, child of a fairy mother and human father, she who walks between worlds. In my story, she is Gawain's teacher and mentor.
Of my set of well-known Arthurian characters, Morgana is one of those that I have most fully appropriated. I don't think Thomas Malory and ChrΓ©tien de Troyes would recognise her easily
Media: Caran d'Ache Classicolor pencils on Bristol board; a touch of white goache for the magic 'special effect'.

Gorgeous colors! I like the subtle variations of hues used on her face.

Thank you! I realised afterwards that I hadn't used any 'skin tone' pencils, which was a first for me; I kind of surprised myself there...

In the last week I waited you to upload this drawing here on dA, so that I could fave it. I failed to notice you had already uploaded it. Sigh.

Glad you like it!

Thank you very much!
I'm very fond of all of these colours, probably because you don't get them in the small boxes of pencils that I used to have as a child ...

I love how mystical and bright the atmosphere is. The texture is great, too. I love this!

Thank you!
The texture is the result of the fact that I didn't use the 'circle technique' that is normally advised for colour pencils... I'm expecting the censure of colour pencil diehards .

You're welcome!
Bah! Those color pencil diehards don't know nothing! I really do like this though! Instant favorite.
