I originally started off with a very detailed carefully drawn depiction of the Queen Of Hearts with various shades of graphite pencil on white cartridge paper. I then duplicated this image using tracing paper with the same pencils and shading it in the exact same way so that they were identical in every possible aspect. Here they are side by side. (left is original, Right is the duplicate)

I then continued to paint the duplicated image with colours associated with the Queen Of Hearts and I chose a deep red for the hair. Because it's my own variation of the Queen I needed the audience to be able to tell who it was straight away. I used acrylic paint and then continued to go over the lines with black ink for definition.
