Description
This is my entry for Pocahontas's contest hosted by EDIT: I won the 3rd Place everybody!
*JORNAL LINK* (click there) [link] 
I really enjoy drawing this one 
(finaly I dont feel anymore frustated 
) Done with regular colour pencils 
It took me (guess what?!) 3 DAYS!!! again! it seams like I'm program to finish a draw in 3 days!! A3 size paper! I wanted to do something diferent for the contest! She's not the cummom disney's version pocahontas but still she has some lines based. See the blue hair over there? that's defently a line from pocahontas 
well besides my happines and my artist's mood I have a little problem =\
The photographer of the reference pick didnt answer to my request to use it for drawing but since the contest will end up soon I decided to post it! =\anyway, I dont know if I put myself in troubles, here is the reference photo: [link]
and here is the photographer's gallery: [link]

Dude, she is not white. Look at all the different shades in her face and around the line of her jaw. If she was white, we'd be seeing bluer undertones - and the hair is so native american. Even if her skin looked white, you could still tell she was Native American.
Anyways, that's my spiel for the day - good job. It's lovely.

Quick history run down, Disney was wrong... her real name isn't Pocahontas
Her original Indian name was "Matoaka" in her later years with her new English husband her name became "Rebecca Rolfe!"
Interesting, eh?

She's wonderful. She's very close to the picture of Pocahontas I have in mind.

The story of Pocahontas meeting King James I-VI is very amusing.
The Indians who accompanied P could not believe that JI-VI was really a king; no surprise there, since the son of the very beautiful Mary, Queen of Scots, was a very unimpressive man.
The King, on the other hand, was very impressed by P; he thought she looked exactly like a princess should look.
