By request of Valarie Connell I have colored this. I used colored pencil. It came out pretty good, though my scanner isn't the best. What do you think?

yeah lydia, those feet are REALLY good. and i like how her wings are see through. that bark doesn't go with those leaves, but it still looks realistic.

Eeek, silly me forgot to login! Anyway, there's one thing I wanted to add. I think the shading you did on that branch she's sitting on is better than in the rest of the picture. The leaves (who look pretty cool BTW) for example could use some of those deep shadows as well. Nevertheless it's a good picture, but I think I said that before ;D

:-) Lydia Thomas replies: "Thanks a bunch. I personally think this is one of my better pictures that has more than just a person. I don't really want a backround, i like it white. Thank you so much for commenting, It took a while to get the wings just right."

Yay! I really like how you made these wings look transparent. I bet that wasn't an easy thing to do. Their inner structure additionally makes them look 3-dimensional which I personally consider the picture's best feature. The tree looks quite okay - trunks are very hard to draw and you did a good job. A background would make the pic perfect 2 Keep it up!

I must say...the tree bark and leaves are absolutely stunning, as are the wings. Lovely work.

This is really good!! The leaves looks so real, and the tree!! It makes a sweet and innocent effect that her feet is crossed! It looks like shes staring into the distance while thinking of everything and nothing!

:-) Lydia Thomas replies: "Yeah, something like that, I wanted a natural "I'm a cute little fairy" effect without getting too cute and cuddly (it needed to look real life). Thank you for commenting"

Oh wow, i really like this one! it might be my favorite of your pics. That tree is so well done, I love the detail on bark and leaves. The fairy is so cute, her wings look as delicate as a spider's web.

:-) Lydia Thomas replies: "Thank you!"

yeah, i think you're right about this picture, Lydia. i think it's better without the color. i like the sketch better than this one, but they're both real great!! i like the shade of the wings and the innocent twist in her feet, you know, like how the weelittle kids dangle their feet from a chair, well, it gives this picture a look of innocence about it. it's great!!

12 Lydia Thomas replies: "Yeah, kind of like Jojo, only she's not innocent 12>"
