Queen Elsa is a fictional character who appears in Walt Disney Pictures’ 53rd animated film Frozen.

Click here to know more about the history and character origin of Elsa.

Top features of Princess Elsa that impressed me,

  • Blue dress
  • French Braids
  • Blonde hair

Interesting fact: The character’s hair ultimately required 420,000 CGI threads.By contrast, Anna was given roughly 140,000 hairs while Rapunzel from Tangled had only required 27,000 CGI threads for her hair.

I liked the challenge of sketching Elsa’s hair digitally

Am happy to share small time lapse of sketching Elsa’s hair.
