Pas de deux: Le Prince et la fee Dragee

I loved the drawing for this one so inking it took forever bc I didn't want to mess it up. Omfg inking is the worst.

The top part was done by dropping water over wet paint. 

I forgot to take a bunch of progress photos. D: I'll do that for my next painting probably. I have progress photos for my other painting here: maybellepeppermint.tumblr.com/…

Oh yeah, and the title of this is the beautiful piece at the end of the Nutcracker- I want to title all these the pieces they're skating to from now on. I wasn't initially thinking they were skating to that, but I love it so much and often imagining them skating to it anyway. It's so romantic and beautiful just. Ugh.
