Challenge #51: Ginkgo Queen

Title: Ginkgo Queen
Artist: yhlee
Rating: G
Fandom: original work
Characters/Pairings: an Asian lady with a ginkgo crown :3
Content Notes: This was an experiment! Pencil underdrawing, then Derwent Inktense coloring pencil (Chinese Ink 2030) and Chili Red 0500) activated with water + brush, and then watercolor for the yellows (Daniel Smith Hansa Yellow Medium, PY97). I think the Derwent Inktense does go dark enough (with water) that I could use the gold mica paste on top, just, glitter is also impossible to photography. XD

Thank you! I grew up with ginkos in S. Korea so I was feeling a bit nostalgic. :3

I remember we had a huge ginko tree next to our old school building. I loved collecting the yellow leaves in autumn.
