A little fairy resting in the sun. I never planned to end up with all these pastel colours, but truth be told I really like them. I'd never use a colour scale like this on a digital artwork, and I kinda like the change. :)

This is 10x15 cm (4x6 inches) marker piece. I really shouldn't make details like this on something that small, but at the same time I really like working in a scale like this. It makes it easier to see an end to it. And you can put them into cute little frames afterwards.

This was made for a fairy contest hold by  Lisajen-stock. She's calling for traditional art, so I thought I'd give her some. :)
It's referenced from this picture.

This is really pretty! The foxgloves look amazing! And I love the fairy, she's so cute, and she looks very shy. I love the effect you got on her wings, how did you get that in marker? And her hair and dress are beauitful!

:-) Rikke Lindskov ´Gwennafran´ Loft replies: "I used two different blue markers. A dark one for the wing base, and a lighter one for the "transparent" part. First I made the "base on the other side" with the light marker. And after that was dry I started to make tons of little squares/lines on the wings. That pattern also goes over the first part I made that suggest the "wing-base" on the other side of the wings. Phew... I hope this makes sense. 2"

It is a lovely picture12The composition is very well done and foxgloves on the background look very good12 Congrats of Mods choice!

:-) Rikke Lindskov ´Gwennafran´ Loft replies: "Thanks a lot. Today's piece of useless info: I didn't even knew the name of the flower when I made this picture. I just lifted them from two photos I took in a forest this summer. Now I know both the Danish and the English name due to comments on my picture. 2"

The colors are so smooth and soft, and I love the feeling I get when I look at this piece. I almost want to close my eyes and fall asleep while laying in the grass. Beautiful and congrats!

:-) Rikke Lindskov ´Gwennafran´ Loft replies: "Aww... Thanks a lot. 1 I felt very relaxed colouring this as well. Nothing quite as calming as pastel colours. 2"

Ahh... what a lovely picture... I'd NEVER be able to anything even half as nice as this with markers... markers and I have never gotten along. Maybe markers with as diverse of shades as colored pencils would help... but... yeah I'm rambling.
She looks so at peace and the shading is beautiful! Congrats on Mod's.

:-) Rikke Lindskov ´Gwennafran´ Loft replies: "Thanks a lot. I'm using Tria markers, these does actually have different shades. But they are also very expensive. 12"
