090907TaishoMarisopa

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

_{Colors on the picture are more vivid than the original. The bg on paper is so desaturated it's almost gray in reality xD;
