She leans over the water on both arms while a frog sits on a lily pad looking straight back at her, ripples spreading out in rings around them. Two characters and a surface: the ripples are drawn as thin concentric lines that are best left almost white, because colouring them turns the pond into a target. The frog is small enough to take a loud green without competing. Her dress is the biggest area and the free one. Five and over, fifteen minutes. Another princess with an animal: Princess Ariel and Flounder, scales rather than a lily pad.
