"Elf and Fairy" by Michael James Liljenberg

Lovely picture. Totally adorable^^ i love the colouring. Whee, i love the colour green. And her outfit and hair style are coolies, too. And her wings. Yepyep. God bless, and keep drawing. ~~~

Heheh I hate "tablets" Myself. I used to want one more than anything in the whole world. For a year or so I had been using the mouse, sketching less and less on paper for lack of a scanner.

When I finaly tried it out I hated every second of it. I thought about switching to using a scanner, but then magic happened... I found I could use the mouse as well if not better than a pen/pencil after all the years of practice!

As for the eyes? Eyes done on an angle like in this picture can be hard regardless of where you want them to be looking. The shape alone can throw some people. One trick that occasionaly works for me when trying to get the eyes focussed on a point, and you can't just eyeball it. Might be to place a small dot roughly where the eyes are concentrated. Even if it is supposed to be a point at a much further distance, the guide can help sometimes. Like I said it's not a sure fire fix, but occasionaly it has saved a painting I was about to delete to the recylcing bin.

I like that! Why don't you do more coloured pics?

I love ts one.You should do her whole body

your elves have wings? Nifty.
I love the way the wings blend into the background with the same paterns.

Only trouble was that the background of your picture, and the elfwood background are the same colors, and they almost blend into each other Not your fault, and nothing you can do about it unless you added a white boarder...

Love the picture though. Very well drawn...

Michael James Liljenberg replies: "Actually that was the objective. Of course, it's not an issue anymore."

Well I have to say very cute-n-colorful! I love the colors and the wings. She reminds me of Arie off of Baldurs Gate 2 the elf who once had wings but they got choped off for some reason I cannot remember why. Well... This is K-Dream sprite bidding you a fairy nice day... I love fairy's!

I just came across the site I really enjoy that elf/fairy mix gives it a wonderfull look at both creatures. My sister is an artist and was very impressed keep up the good work!

Very good i love the colors

I think that that is really cool. Onw of my favorite things to draw are fairy’s and elves. I love how she’s kinda both!
