It's like she's a blushing bride but with a bouquet of swords 83 I was looking at some of the smiley expressions Ariel makes when I drew this. I wanted her to look really earnest and carefree :3

I finished this last week, but am just now posting it here. I ended up having an anxiety episode at work and had to come home. Things have since calmed down, my day job is very understanding and accommodating, and I'm doing better. Coincidentally, I had just had a Dr appointment for that stuff before I got to work, too o.O I'm trying to be open about my experiences with my mental health treatment in case it helps anyone else feel less self conscious about it. Avoiding treatment for so long really inhibited me in the long run.

ANYWAYS, Point of that story, though, is is right, Rose's pink mane is super calming to draw.
