Blue Moon Atelier Journal

Getting down to all the fiddly detail bits now. The dress is mostly finished now - I have added shading to the folds by way of mixing Thalo Green and Indigo Blue. I also used the Thalo Green/Indigo Blue mix to deepen the shading on the green ribbons and bows (on her dress as well as the staff). A mix of Alizarin Crimson and Paynes Grey was used to deepen shading on the red ribbons. Gold-ish ribbons were made using the same mix as was used on the bodice and I added some more Rose Dore and a smigden of Thalo Green and Paynes Grey to create a deeper colour for shading the gold ribbons. Paynes Grey was used on the wrought iron detail of the staff and on the lantern. I have finished her hair except for the holly and pearl tiara, and have shaded her lips and started detailing her eye. The next steps will involve finishing the lantern, bells, and staff details, finalizing the detailing on the dress, sorting out the snowy bit, and I will likely punch up the shading on her skintones as she's meant to be lit by the lantern and needs some brighter highlights and deeper shadows.
