I used the element of Color paired with the principle of Contrast.
Color is shown by the use of black in the hair, the white of the eyes, background, and skin, and the red on the dress and the splatters in the background. The black and white in the picture also contrast against each other. Another way that contrast is shown could be the red in contrast to the monochrome in the rest of the drawing.
To make this drawing, I initially sketched it out and outlined it with outlining pens, which can be seen with the black outlines. I used colored pencils to color most of it in (which might be obvious by looking at the dress). The only things I didn't use colored pencil to color in was the hair and the visible eyebrow, which I used a black marker to do. For the splattered affect in the background, I used red acrylic paint that I splattered on with a few paint brushes.
The most successful part of the drawing was the overall outcome. I was careful not to get paint on the girl in the drawing or to have the marker tear through the paper. I would say that the hair came out nice as well, especially the parts where there are separate sections and it drifts away from the majority of the hair.
My main challenge was coloring it. More specifically, with the dress. I tried to make it look less patchy, but I couldn't get it to look better beyond the point it's at now. I also had some issues with drawing the shoulders, and I feel that they still look somewhat boxy. If I could redo the drawing, I would fix those two things.
