🗡️💧🐲 ℛ𝒶𝓎𝒶 🐲💧🗡️  This is the last Disney Princess of the series!!! I have only seen Raya once and I loved the potential the movie had. I think I was unhappy with some of the narrative choices but my favorite character designs were Namaari, Sisu’s human design, and Tong💖     I think Raya is super pretty and I love her action packed look but I’m so sad she doesn’t have at least formal wear (as an adult). South East Asia has some beautiful traditional clothing and I’m sad that it was under utilized in Raya 😭     What are your feelings about Raya? I’d love to hear your thoughts!     And with that, this project was fun and challenging and I’m so glad I did it! I tried to keep it simple but very thoughtful with my shapes and details. I loved learning some new things about simple shading as well! Thank you for all your engagement with this project and stay tuned for lots more art!

🌊🌺🌟 ℳ𝑜𝒶𝓃𝒶 🌟🌺🌊  I am so happy with how she turned out! Moana happens to have features that are very suited to my art style- wavy hair, the shape of her lips, and her eye shape are very natural to draw for me✨ Moana is close to my heart and is also one of my husband’s favorite Disney princesses. The soundtrack is always playing in our car 😂 And though it was tedious, I love all the details of her outfit💖    Moana doesn’t have many looks and I still haven’t seen her sequel (Is it good?)     So tell me: which animal sidekick of Moana’s do you prefer Pua or Hei Hei?     Comment with a 🐷 for Pua and a 🐔 for Hei Hei and DEFEND YOUR POSITION! 😂

🌨️❄️💠 ℰ𝓁𝓈𝒶 💠❄️🌨️  She was definitely easier to draw than Anna 😂 But then again I’ve drawn lots of Elsa over the years. I’ve been thinking about maybe doing a couple Jelsa doodles for nostalgia’s sake💖 Elsa is such an interesting princess and I love both her decorum and her warmth✨    Elsa’s hair is so fun to draw but I have to say that I prefer her Spirit Elsa hair and I have a soft spot for her Coronation hair too😩    Out of Elsa’s many dresses I have to say my favorite is her Frozen Adventure dress! I love the velvet and fur lining😭💖 Like Anna, I also adore her Frozen 2 travel outfit and nightgown! She is so stunning in that deep wine color✨     Which of Elsa’s dresses is your favorite?     And should I bring back Jelsa or is there another ship with Elsa you prefer?👀

💙🌻🖼️ 𝒜𝓃𝓃𝒶 🖼️🌻💙  Y’all these CG Princess are hard to draw accurately! I had to heavily reference Jin Kim’s concept art after struggling for a bit.     When Frozen came out I was a big Elsa girlie but over the years Anna has become close to my heart. Her kindness, resilience, courage, and social awkwardness are so endearing and I want to be her when I grow up 💖     Anna has so many looks between her two movies! I love her travel dress, her nightgown, but especially her Frozen 2 travel dress.     Which of Anna’s looks is your favorite?

🏞️🐻🏹 ℳ𝑒𝓇𝒾𝒹𝒶 🏹🐻🏞️  I was very judgmental of Brave when it first came out. I felt it was predictable and it was the first real departure from the Disney Princess Formula. However, listening to my friend Kat read the story of Brave to children at a Party Princess event changed my heart. Over the years I have grown to truly love the story and Merida as well. It’s a beautiful story of learning to understand someone else’s perspective, then respecting it because you love them, and finally compromise.💖     I love Merida’s features, her round eyes, ginger lashes, her flushed cheeks, weak jaw, and of course her voluminous hair. She isn’t the typical Disney Princess in so many ways and I love her for it.     Which dress of hers is your favorite?     While her parks dress isn’t film accurate, I actually really love it and how it features her clan’s tartan💙❤️💚

👑🎨💜 ℛ𝒶𝓅𝓊𝓃𝓏𝑒𝓁 💜🎨👑  Rapunzel is our resident art princess!! I love her paintings designed by Claire Keane💖 She’s also our first CGI princess which was an interesting challenge for me to get her features right! I mostly used her model and looked to Glen Keane’s concept art for some tips. I feel I did most of her features well but her lips were SO DIFFICULT! This also took me longer because CGI characters have so many more details than 2D characters 😤 But I love how her sleeves turned out 👹💖✨    Punzie doesn’t have many dresses in the movie but she does in her show! Do you have a favorite?    Or we could debate LONG HAIR or SHORT HAIR?!💇‍♀️ 

[s0alaina]

✨🪷🐸 𝒯𝒾𝒶𝓃𝒶 🐸🪷✨  Tiana has the sweetest dimples 😭 I love Tiana so much that when I met her at Disneyworld I was shaking like a leaf 😂 She has the sweetest voice and I aDORE her wedding dress! I forgot that it’s covered in dew drops! I also love her parks wig so much that I forgot that she doesn’t have bangs. I’m really happy about her getting A Bayou Adventure but I’m still waiting for her restaurant, Tiana’s Palace!😤 I also wish she did more meet and greets in her other outfits from the movie 💖     What’s your favorite outfit of Tiana’s in movie or at the parks? 

[s0alaina]

🏅🌸🐉 ℳ𝓊𝓁𝒶𝓃 🐉🌸🏅  Mulan is one of my favorite Disney princesses HANDS DOWN. I quote this movie almost daily and I get sad every time they get to the Tung Shao pass because that means the movie is almost over 😭  I love Mulan to the core of who she is and I love her facial features so much! Did you know the animators drew her with a round face as a girl and gave her a sharp jaw as Ping? I will always be in some crowd holding a sign that says “Let Mulan have a jaw!”    I also still think it’s sad that the parks and the Disney Princess brand always have Mulan in her matchmaker dress. I feel like the dress at the end of the film is the most true to who she is.    Which of Mulan’s outfits is your favorite? And do you have a favorite Mulan quote?  

[s0alaina]

✨🍂🏞️ 𝒫𝑜𝒸𝒶𝒽𝑜𝓃𝓉𝒶𝓈 🏞️🍂✨   Pocahontas’ character design has deeply influenced me from when I was young. I’m obsessed with her flowing black hair, her piercing eyes, and her unique lip shape so much so that similar features popped up in one of my OCs😂💖 All I gotta ask is Glen Keane, where is her nose???? Why is it only two dots??? LET POCAHONTAS HAVE A NOSE! 😤     While I 100% side with criticism of her film and don’t agree with portraying a real native person, who was a child, in this way- I still have love for this character and the music of the film.     What are your thoughts and feelings about Pocahontas? Do you like her parks outfit or her original dress?     “THESE WHITE MEN ARE DANGEROUS” is probably my favorite line✋😩 

[s0alaina]

🐅🪔💎𝒥𝒶𝓈𝓂𝒾𝓃𝑒 💎🪔🐅  Jasmine really has some of my favorite features! I love her nose, the shape of her face, her eyes, and her thick eyebrows. Taking reference of her straight from the movie and not from Disney Princess brand art was eye opening. I had colored her earrings gold until I realized that they’re actually a bronze/brassy color! I also never noticed than in her purple outfit her jewel is a completely different shape as well. I was tempted to do her dress but her light teal is just so iconic.     Which outfit of Jasmine’s is your favorite? (We all know it’s the red one 😳)     Do you like her parks outfit? Or do you prefer her live action outfits! Let me know!! 

[s0alaina]

🌙📖🥀 ℬ𝑒𝓁𝓁𝑒 🌙📖🥀  Belle was my favorite princess growing up, I mean we both have brown hair and eyes and she even has a widows peak! And I think we all know that I LOVE an off the shoulder ballgown!!👏 This dress is so special and it was nice to take a closer look at the colors, it’s such a hard dress to replicate! Some day I hope to find one that I am satisfied with for cosplay 😩💖    There’s a lot we could debate for this dress! Is it gold or yellow? And what shade of yellow? The parks dress is such a light butter yellow 💛     Belle also has a lot of dresses! Which one is your favorite? 

[s0alaina]

✨🐚🌊 𝒜𝓇𝒾𝑒𝓁 🌊🐚✨   There she is! I miss dressing up as her 😭 I still need to make some kind of post commemorating my 10 years of being a party princess now that I’m retired 😔 I have so many pictures that I never shared!   Also I was remarking on how I don’t think I’ve drawn Ariel’s pink dress since I was in highschool! I think it’s very pretty and classic 80s but I’m just not crazy about the pink! I guess you can attribute my princessing to my preference for the parks dress 😂  I couldn’t resist doing it for the last slide   I think Ariel has so many wonderful outfits! Which one of her outfits is your favorite?   Do you like the pink dress or the parks dress?   

[s0alaina]

💤💖🧺 𝒮𝓁𝑒𝑒𝓅𝒾𝓃𝑔 ℬ𝑒𝒶𝓊𝓉𝓎 🧺💖💤  Make it blue! Make it pink!! Yet another dress color debate! I really do love the blue dress, which is the most canon color to the movie. I remember meeting Aurora at Disneyland in her velvety blue dress when I was little 💙 However as a cosplayer, I’ve never been able to choose!     Which is your favorite? Pink, Blue, color shifting, color splashed, purple, or controversial GREEN?!  

[s0alaina]

🫧🐭🌌 𝒞𝒾𝓃𝒹𝑒𝓇𝑒𝓁𝓁𝒶 🌌🐭🫧  If you’ve followed me for a while you already know that Cinderella is another princess dear to my heart🥹 I really tried to stick to her original color palette with her ginger blonde hair and silvery dress, but I couldn’t resist giving her ears 😂  I know there is great debate about the original color of her dress and the color that the Disney Princess brand has chosen for her.     What’s your take on the color? Silver or Blue?   

[s0alaina]

🕊️🥧🍎 𝒮𝓃𝑜𝓌 𝒲𝒽𝒾𝓉𝑒 🍎🥧🕊️  I realized that I haven’t really done illustrations of all the Disney princesses (because I’m always drawing Ariel 🙈) So I thought I’d go in order of release and start with the fairest of them all! Snow White has such a special place in my heart💖 I love her kindness and her beautiful high operatic voice (Thank you Queen Mother, Adriana Caselotti 🙇‍♀️😭💖). I also love the original soft colors of her dress.   With the live action remake coming out, but I have no intention of seeing it, though I think Rachel was a good choice for my girl Snow- I just know the story will be disappointing, I hate its lack of representation for little people, and I refuse to support a witch #freepalestine   What is your favorite retelling of Snow White? Or what is your ideal plot? Let me know!💖 I HAVE OPINIONS!
