So i guess these flower fairies have turned into a series. I have drawn a lot of inspiration from nature over the years, and i have become a total flower nerd in the past year. So it just sorta felt like it would be a fun thing to paint a fairy for each of my favourite flowers. Hope it doesn't seem too clichΓ©...

Anyway, i have a huge list of flowers i eventually want to paint, and have already started a bunch. But i can still take suggestions if any of you have any particular favourites.

I would also like to thank ~Dove-Stock who was kind enough to provide such a beautiful reference

It's a really beautiful piece of "fairy-art", reminds me of my favourite artist Amy Brown. And lots of hugs for supporting Breast Cancer Awareness Weekend

Aww, that is such a pretty painting!! You know, I can never paint feet. Looking at your beautiful picture, it just seems so simple, and yet I always screw them up somehow. Maybe one of these days you'll make a 'how to paint feet tutorial'? That would really be very, very helpful!!

Oh yeah, feet are such a pain! They are actually very lumpy if you look at them, all the veins and bones underneath the skin really make it a tricky thing to get right without making the painted feet look weird and lumpy in the wrong way. Honestly, the best thing i can advise is to use lots of reference for feet - and hands as well since they are very similar in the level of detail. Reference is your best friend, and lots of practice

Thank you for the advice I've tried using references, but I guess I just don't have enough patience. Oh well. It probably really is a matter of time and practice

Heh, no worries here I totally wouldn't mind if you wanted to get it as a tattoo by the way. If you like enough. I do have two rules for tattoos, if you're interested they are here [link] (#4).

I tried to log in before and save this from work, but I got fire-walled ._.

But anyway: I think it's a great idea for a series - there are so many different kinds of flowers with unique characteristics, it will give you a lot to work with

Aww, i loved it. I thought she brought the whole story to an end in a very clever way. I could have done without the deaths...but i really think this is my favourite book of them all
