A friend was teaching me how to use colored pencils, and this was my first try at something other then color gradients, haha! I hate how my scanner ruins the colors.
Was trying out two different Photoshop brushes. The left ball was painted with Katie De Sousa's brush, and the right with with Goro's. I personally prefer the right one, since it looks more painterly.
I never liked the fact that princess Daisy's dress is basically a recolor of Peach's dress. So I tried creating a new design for her, something a princess that lives in a desert would wear. Also, I brought back the patterns on the bottom of the dress - I've always liked those, and her pink crown.
