Tag As FavoriteComment		This is my first attempt at painting with photoshop. I didn't expect my painting to turn out this well so I created it at a low resolution with the original painting just slightly larger than the one seen here. I first scanned in an ink drawing, then used mostly the airbrush tool to paint over it.

Ok, the only nitpick I have to say about the piece is the size of the butterflies. Considering the size of most pixie types, then she's either human sized and on a HUGE leaf or she's pixie sized and the butterflies should be far larger.

Don't get me wrong, I love the image, but the butterflies size throws it off to a large degree. Smooth coloring, beautiful way the water seems almost cloudlike and ethereal, and nice amount of shine from the moonlight.
