Out of mothballs - doll needs colour
« on: Wednesday 27 February 08 13:48 GMT (UK) »
Hi All

As the board is a bit quiet, thought I'd repost this pic for colouring which I posted about 18 months ago.  I got some stunning colourisations which I hasten to add I'm more than thrilled with, but there are a new batch of colourists out there at the moment and I'd like to see some more interpretations as I think you will agree with me when I say it's quite a beautiful pic.

Cheers
Caz

PS Anybody that's coloured this pic before are more than welcome to submit a second go...yes I know, I'm greedy!!!  ;D ;D ;D


PPS Just for the dating gurus and information purposes, this pic was taken in 1903.

this is my first try. Ive never done any before this pic. I wish I could get the skin tone down better.
I dont think it matters what color we do her, she'll always look beautiful.
