Original Colored Pencil Angel Illustration by Brittany (2026)

This is a hand-drawn illustration executed on a sheet from a spiral-bound sketchbook. The medium appears to be colored pencil, utilizing a palette of soft pastels, yellows, oranges, and deep indigo blues. The central figure is an ethereal winged woman, or angel, depicted with flowing brown hair and a cascading, long-tailed gown that merges into the surrounding cloudscape. The figure is positioned against a large, radiant yellow sun or globe of light. The artist has used cross-hatching and layered shading techniques to create the textures in the wings and the voluminous clouds in the foreground and background. Notable markings include a handwritten signature at the bottom right corner that reads 'Brittany' followed by the year '2026'. As the date suggests a future year, this may indicate a conceptual dating or a misdating by the artist. Physically, the paper shows perforation at the top where it remains attached to the spiral binding. The condition appears excellent with no visible tears or significant smudging, though the paper has a slight curl characteristic of sketchbook weight. The craftsmanship reflects a dedicated amateur or student-level skill, characterized by a stylized, fantasy-inspired aesthetic common in contemporary illustration.
