Description This was done using strictly colored pencil on illustration board. Man, I thought my finger was going to fall off from all that burnishing......

Great concept, composition and execution! Amazing colours and textures, the fairy adds a clever whimsical touch... kind of like a little bug that one doesn't notice until picking up one of the apples... the realism just adds to the wonderful surprise, well done! Congrats on getting the DD, you truly deserve it

Excelent work!
Not many people realise what a difficult medium coloured pencil is! Or indeed how laborious ones efforts are to achieve any results at all.

One comment said "coloured pencil, I thought it was a painting!".
But of course coloured pencil is a painting, it's simply "a coloured pencil painting".

I am now going to your gallery to see if you have posted any more of your coloured pencil work.
If not, then you must do so soon!

Oh God. After that I'd request that my fingers be amputated! It came out very well though. From the point of view of an art freak in front of a computer screen, it was worth it.

Since you've gotten a Daily Deviation I'm sure you have hundreds of new comments, but I just had to tell you that your amazing and that I envy you.
I also had to ask you, what's burnishing?

LindsayGNery In reply to XxSayaxX [2007-01-03 17:28:10 +0000 UTC]

Burnishing is when you build up layers and layers of varying colors with colored pencil, then you take a pale color or a colorless colored pencil (I preffer to just use a white colored pencil, but diffrent artists have diffrent ways of doing it) and sort of rub real hard over the layers of color that you built previously. Then you start building up the colors again on top of that and repeat the process until you have achieved the desired effect. Hope I explained that well enough.

My god.....
The shades, the hues, the textures, the light and just the plain simplicity of the subject topped off with the little fairy makes this a beautiful piece of work!

You have amazing talent and i think you've expressed this piece rather elegantly.

Kudos

(really makes me hungry for some apples now)

Scummy [2007-01-03 03:46:36 +0000 UTC]

That's insane. I never knew you could make anything so lovely just from coloured pencils.

This could be just the scan or photo, but the shadows right undernieth the fairy are fairly light compared to some of the apple's shadows. It might be nice to see a little bit of the brown brought into the edge where they hit her figure and slightly darkened. That's just being picky though!

I see so many DDs that are just so not worth the title; they're nothing special to look at and they didn't take all that much time or effort to create.

But this is truly amazing. I can only hope to be this good by the time I'm so old that my hands are crippled and useless. Ah, how I love life's little ironies. "Good job" doesn't even come close to touching this. Definitely worth the DD, and definitely worth a !! I commend you for the patience alone that it must have taken to make this piece work!

Magical. Most deserving of a DD. Admittedly, I thought it was a photo from the thumbnail, but saw that it was indeed made with a good old traditional medium!
It's mostly the bowl I dig. The reflections and highlights on it really show off its' polished wood surface and ultimately perfect it.
