In Lilac and Silver-Blue by @aodhnait (Kitty Ryan)

A present for Alison Young. A colouring of her original (and much more cheerful) sketch of Ella, my shadow-child. I hope she likes it.

I'm especially proud of her hair. Mouse-brown is surprisingly hard to replicate, but I think I've come close. I'm also proud of her veins. They took forever, and are not quite correct, physiologically (they almost are, though! I checked!) I think they lend a certain...fragility, to the whole piece.
