Beautiful! I've always pictured Aurora as a brunette, or a redhead, like this pic! I also like how you did that drop of blood running down her finger, from when she pricked it. You hardly EVER see any pictures of her with a bloody finger.

I really adore her pose, particuarly. Rather then have her miracously end up on a beautiful draped bed with her hands folded, she simply fell backwards in a deep sleep. It adds a realistic touch, almost as if I were viewing a real scene. I honestly adore this picture!

Bright and vivid. I like how you drew her so real. As in, she has color and skin, and she’s not perfectly skinny but kind of round and soft. =]
She also looks like she’s having the best sleep of her life.
And I think I’m gonna have to start looking into this Prismacolor brand. Everyone uses it, it seems, and it looks like it gives real nice results.
But it’s expensive. XD
however, I might check it out.
By the way her hair is absolutely stunning. The whole thing is. Kudos for showing a different side of the face most artist’s never go! (up the nose. It’s a beautiful perspective here, though.) ^_^

:-) Katerina Koukiotis replies: "thank you rosie so much for your lovely comments, you should definitely try prismacolors they are very good color pencils they are a bit pricey but you can also buy them individually for a dollar something each to try a few colors to see if you like them or not 2"
