Its a Dryad, or at least my version of one. She is linked with Ivy, simply becuase i like Ivy. The leaves on her head are part of her in a way - I figure they would look like tatoos if she is seperate from the plant but are actual living leaves the rest of the time.

I will try to draw ones to go with the other plants that have a particular fondness for. (But no promises...)

Hey-I really like this picture. It is so pretty. I love the clean lines. I also like that you can tell that she’s a girl even though she doesn’t have hair or eyelashes. Very pretty 2.

:-) Charlotte Lovell replies: "thank you very much! i did try adding hair but it just didnt suit her - thats when i came up with the i dea of using the leaves!"

She really does have a beautiful face and must give you a huge congratulations for dawing lips so well...i fing it sooooo difficult! She looks very mysterious and the ivy turning into tattos is a neat idea!

:-) Charlotte Lovell replies: "well id like a tatoo that looked like its growing leaves so i used the idea on her to see if it works! as for the lips the trick is to try again and again and again and again......"
