SciFi and Fantasy Art: Dandelion fairy

This is the first fairy I ever draw. Isn’t she mischievous ? I am very proud of my dandelion : it is something very hard to paint.

Real size : 10 x 15 cm ( 4 x 6 inches) Color pencils + watercolors + ink, few details with photoshop.

Now that it's been mentioned, she does have the Princess Leia hair style. But when I saw this I originally thought, 1920's Flapper girl. Either way, it's a nice picture, nice light airy colors too.

Ha ha! The first thing I thought was "Leia buns!" when I saw this! And, considering that I'm a Star Wars fanatic, this makes this picture an automatic favourite! Hee hee!
Keep up the good work, Anne.
Your pics are great. (I also like that winter fairy you've just put up... Her hood DOES look like a willow bud.)

She has such gorgeous big baby blue eyes! And the dandelion is amazing. It almost seems to shine with a light of it's own.

1 Anne Wipf replies: "This effect was added on Photoshop, I'm pleased if it is successful. Thank you for liking my little fairy and her (not so) innocent look. And thank you again for your kind comments."

2 Anne Wipf replies: "In memory of my childhood. Thank you for your kind comment."

I automatically thought of the Edwardian fascination with fairies in the 1900s/1910s, and how Arte Nouveau your fairy looks! Definitely gorgeous, as usual.

2 Anne Wipf replies: "Thank you."

Oh Anne! How did I miss this lovely piece... she has a real Art Nouveau feel and the colors are so lovely and soft. Beautiful work!

:-) Anne Wipf replies: "Thank you soooo much, Wendy. 1"

Yep, definitely good job on the dandelion. The face is good to, the right arm maybe a little off..

:-) Anne Wipf replies: "I didn’t notice it, but you’re right: the right shoulder is a bit too low, so the arm is a a bit too short. If it looks twisted, it is not a mistake: women have this kind of move, imposible for men: I learned it in one of the drawing lessons I took when I was young 12."
19 Mar 2008:-) Justin A 'Merlion Emrys' Williams
Ahhh...one of THOSE things

:-) Anne Wipf replies: "Yes: a secondary sexual characteristic, often unknown. If my Art teacher didn’t tell it, I probably never noticed it myself."
28 May 2008:-) Petra Walker
wow, she looks like a film-star from 1930s..beautiful

:-) Anne Wipf replies: "Yes: I was directly inspired by this period for this picture. Thank you again for all your lovely comments. I will perhaps do some new little fairies like these you commented: they are quite old (the oldest of this gallery) but still please. 1"
