More princess chibis! Now we have Belle, from Disney's Beauty and the Beast!

I've mentioned before that although she's my favorite Disney Princess, I have some quibbles with her character design, primarily the GHASTLY YELLOW DRESS. Which I've always thought from the movies that it was supposed to be gold, but everybody draws it yellow and it's gross. @___@ Since my last attempt to draw Belle took so many artistic liberties that it scarcely looked like her, I decided to take a stab at the yellow dress, but still do it MY way. This dress is based off of the Parade of Dreams Dress which I discovered via `bri-chan's Swoosh 2 deviation. I made the dress a paler yellow, incorporated pink roses into the design (BECAUSE THE MOVIE IS ALL ABOUT ROSES AND STUFF) and even added some gold pen rose designs into the dress, which I hope didn't turn out too obnoxious. Also, when it comes to Belle's hair, I prefer how it looks when real life actresses play her and the hair is much more curly, and I also prefer it either in the ponytail with her ribbon or down. I do like the idea of having her hair partway up in a bun, but I think it's too tied back, so here I have her hair mostly down. CURLY HAIRED BRUNETTES YAY. 8D Also, I don't think Belle should EVER be seen without a book. It's just not right.

Hope you enjoy! I will be doing more princesses, probably skipping around into some unexpected areas as well, and of course, my favorites first.

Stay tuned!

Critique, please! I'm very pleased with this one but I do want to know if people don't like something about the style or other artistic choices. Please comment and share!
