Artist's Comments

fter seeing Yumedust's coloured colouring book page on her DA [link] I decided to do one of my own. I settled on Esmeralda (Page here = [link]), of which I coloured using the colour pallete from Bouguereau's (yes the same artist as Yume, but hes one of my fav's so i figured it was ok ;p) painting Tricoteuse (Image = [link]). Initially I wanted to use his painting "Rest" for the colours (I have it on my wall) but decided to go with a more restricted colouring scheme.

Oh and for the record...digitally painting stone is freaking hard without using existing textures. I did use a combination of dry brushes and pastels in Corel Painter 9.5 which did help, but got tiring after a while. No photo textures used and only reference used was the Bouguereau painting.

5ish hours
Corel Painter 9.5
Esmeralda Colouring book page is copyright Disney.

Ryan Wood ([link]) and Sam Nielson ([link]) have also done the same with Belle and Jasmine pages!

Gorgeous work! I'm seriously thinking I have to join in on this idea.

I love the texture, and the stone work is beautiful - but the lighting is to die for.

It's great! It really have the feeling of a Classical painting as well! I did the colouring book as well, but I don't think (I know I didn't) I succeeded in making it in the style of the old classics! Well done! :) Fav.

I think I've always wished someone would do something like this. This is very inspiring.
