Balanced on one toe with both arms raised, the princess wears a skirt built in layers and small stars float around her. The layers are the work: four or five of them, and shading each one a touch deeper than the layer above gives the skirt volume, whereas a single colour flattens it into a triangle. A crown sits in her hair, small enough to be the last thing coloured. Children who take dance classes want this one, especially in the week of a show. Fifteen minutes from five. Standing still in a full gown: Princess in a Gown, both feet flat on the floor.
Coloring ideas for this page
