Nutcraker Card

I decided after much thought to do a drawing based on the Christmas Ballet "The Nutcraker", which has always held a special place in my heart. It was drawn at 8.5" x 11" (21.5cm x 27.9 / A4) on Bristol Board; after inking with pigment ink pens, I applied base tones with Tria Markers, and then finished the colouring with coloured pencils and a little gold acrylic paint.

The markers I used were:

B546 (nutcraker blue) buy
Y567 (yellow under gold) buy
C847 (eyes) buy
Y119 (skin) buy
V564 (purple dress) buy
O225 (wood) buy
O535 (hair) buy
R465 (red upholstery) buy
G557 (tree) buy
G756 (tree) buy
