Artist Statement (what Christian37444 said about their artwork)
I chose this theme because it was very old and royalty-like which was my idea.
Colored pencils were the best way to express old colors to me and Sharpie for the black lines.
Making the lines straight and centered was the hardest part since the paper was not squared.
I was supposed to do warm colors with pink but gold fit better.
I think the idea and coloring look really good. I could have improved by making it more complicated.
