Cant believe no one commented on this one yet. The shading is really good and the theme is so cute! Wow I see a lot of improvement compared to some of your earlier submitions

1 Lauren E. Ritchie replies: "You're still the only one to have commented, but I'm glad that you did. I really worked hard on this one. I think the fairy let me down a bit though."

I carn't belive i'm only the second one 2 comment oh well this is great such a great layout and the shading is spot on well done

:-) Lauren E. Ritchie replies: "Thanks. I used a photo reference for this piece, which is why the shading is right for once."

Ok, since you asked so nicely. This is quite good, I'm impressed with the shading and the folds in the material and the general positioning of both figures. 1

1 Lauren E. Ritchie replies: "Thanks, I was really happy with the folds myself. The shading is much easier to do when using a photo reference."

Yes, i must agree that the shading is well done. It could use to be darker but its fine how it is. This is a great piece. The concept is pretty funny as well.

:-) Lauren E. Ritchie replies: "I'm glad you like the concept. This picture is based on a photo I have of my boyfriend with a butterfly on his shoulder. "

yeah, this pic is really well done. The shading is really nice, and the composition too.
Keep on good work.
