The princess looks vulnerable in this drawing, with the drop of blood and tear next to it. The expression of surprise and shock on her face emphasizes the moment of her physical pain and emotional distress. For a nuanced look at this painting, color the princess's skin with pale, warm beiges, adding pink or coral shades to accentuate the emotional distress and to evoke a soft, sympathetic emotion. Contrast this with the cool blue hues of her gown, which could symbolize her resignation at the situation and her determination to power through it. To make her more of a royal figure, paint her hair a dark brown with a hint of auburn. To further highlight the moment of pain, make the drop of blood a deep shade of ruby and the single tear a clear, light blue for contrast. Together the colors create a powerful yet melancholic story of strength and vulnerability.
