Tag As FavoriteComment		One of my most complete pieces ever and I personally really like it, took me hours to finish this picture. You could consider it number 4 in my elves with backgrounds series :P What do you all think? Pencil sketch on printer paper :P

:-) Elke Dobben replies: "Thanks! Yay! I have a fan! 1 Hm... too dark you say? Hm... I think I did most of the darkness on purpose, but some happened cause I always use the sharpest pencil possible, and since I go over things more than once, it gets darker and darker 2"

The details are great. Very nice pic.
The elf is too small but it makes she looks very fragile and lovely. A bit like a doll. Very nice pic.

:-) Elke Dobben replies: "Thank you. I agree the elf is a bit small... it's an older piece, but, too late to chance it, right? 10"

I love her hair. Great detail, the little fish, the decorations on the bottom of her skirt and the leaves that must have taken forever. Very beautiful.
