SciFi and Fantasy Art The Crystal by Catherine Baker


	This picture started as a hairstyle and developed from there. I wanted to get a kind of tropical atmosphere with the background and colours but I don't think I quite pulled it off. I'm very pleased with the perspective on the right hand, especially since I am usually hopeless at hands (let's not mention the left one..). Entirely donein coloured pencils, including the black!

15 Apr 2006	Audrey Youko.Greywords M.	Loading... The sleeves defy all logic and are therefore the coolest things I have seen in all my years!! o I want hair like his! Oh, waitaminnit.....I HAVE hair like his! So disregard that!
26 Jan 2007	LL JJ	Loading... Awesome colour choice! I just love the detail and shading here. (I am a detail and shading fan.) Particularly how the shirt appears to be painted on his skin. Great job!
29 Mar 2007	Andy Bain	Loading... Another great pic. I think you worry about the hands too much. I know I'm not an expert, but they don't look so bad. Those pants are the sort that my character wears. Anyway, good job.
6 Jun 2007	Roland J. Billingsley	Loading... Definitely one of my favorites in your gallery. I love his shirt.. thing... Beautiful!
15 Jun 2007	;););););)	Loading... I agree with Moony, shmexy! I think it do look tropical, and his hair is really cool! and the spiffy colouring!! Oh my!
3 Jul 2007	Toby Norman	Loading... I disagree with Kateybeth. Elves and fairies are not manly beings. They are androgynous. An elf boy should look pretty, not macho. Your depiction is perfect.
23 Feb 2008	D.I.	Loading... " ’The Crystal’...Taste the Rainbow"!!...sorry, i had to!
9 May 2008	Jayamila	Loading... this is so awsome is he wearing a shirt that is tight or is it skin with sleeves
3 Aug 2008	Cap’n AJ	Loading... I adore his hair! What can I say - I have a thing for pretty red-headed boys!!
