The Sorceress

As Halloween approaches today I am sharing a new image by Moondrea Designs called "The Sorceress".

She has been coloured with Copics, I tried to keep to a minimal colour palette of Orange and Green, with a couple of Red accents.  I added some stardust pens for the gold elements and some glossy accents on the gems.

I coloured a blue/violet background to make her pop and added some Posca pen dots.

She is layered onto a shimmering orange background.

Finishing off with 2 pretty flowers.
