This Butterfly Fae is a result of me wanting to do something other than a bust. I wanted to experiment on watercoloring a character with much more emotion and glow. Mostly an experimental art piece but I am in love with it.

It was the first time I was really using the masque correctly so I am pretty much thrilled and excited to learn that it doesn’t tear my watercolor paper. Working in layers is fun too! though i really should learn clothing folds. Let me know what you think about this.

For those experimenting in watercolor, I will make a better tutorial soon! watch for it.

I wanted to try something like a fantasy scene and I wanted to try my hand at illustrating a storybook like character … I created this world after looking at several fantasy pieces and got inspired by mushrooms. The whole point was to try to detail everything and use color effectively to make a soft and childlike. I used a lot of different techniques to create this and I was glad to practice inking and coloring on this.

This doesnt have a story yet… but maybe I could come up with it soon.

I loved the whole experience. From sketch to final color i loved how i created this minute piece. I hope you like it too.. what do you think?
