Haven't worked with colored pencils in ages!
It was fun XP

About the title:
"Marisopa" is a misspeling of "Mariposa", which means "butterfly" in spanish. The girl in the picture (original char of mine) is named Marisopa. My first language is Spanish, btw...
Taisho is a japanese era from 1912 to 1926. There is an art style from around that period called "Taisho Romantic" or "Taisho Roman". Kimonos with Taisho Roman patterns are very colorful and pretty, and a couple fo them inspired the patterns on this picture :3

Hope you like it :D

Original size: 8,5x11 - ish
Tools: old scrap piece of Opaline paper, Faber-castell Polychromos

Colors on the picture are more vivid than the original. The bg on paper is so desaturated it's almost gray in reality xD;
You can see a couple of WIP pictures here: [link]

I favorited this a long time ago, but it's still one of my all-time top favs :) It's a really special drawing. Did you keep the original?

Oh no, I've said too much; I haven't said enough

glad you like it so much C:
And yes, I still have the original, with the intention of framing it at some point along with some other artwork I've made :P
