I did this with my new Prismacolor pencils! I'm not happy with it because I did one wing slightly down so you could see the whole antennea (Is that how you spell it?) but it ended up looking like I accidently made the wings crooked. ARRRGH!! The scan also came out looking kinda yellowish! And also the wings aren't ment to have so many sections (the orange parts) so it doesn't look too much like a monarch's wings.

Poor sad little butterfly fae 8

She shouldn't be sad, though, because she is beautiful (and very well rendered!) Lovely coloring job, you've done there...

Pretty1 Yay Prismacolor! Best colored pencils EVER! Everything I do is with prisma.

Anyway, I think the wings look fine. If you hadn't mentioned it, I would've never noticed! You gotta have more belief in yourself and your abilities. Can't wait to see more! ^.,^

Don't be so hard on yourself! I think it's a beautiful picture. Much better than anything I've ever drawn. Keep up the good work!

Love the coloring, and her hair is really realistic and soft-looking. Her facial expression is well done, too.

Oooh...a drow like fae! love the ankle bangles. One question...whats that on her thigh?

:-) Aisha S. Thiessen replies: "I guess I have a thing for those wedding bands (I WANT ONE!) Ya, that thing on her thigh is a wedding/engagment band. I just thought it looked cool so I put it on. Maybe she's getting married to Mister Drow-Like-Fae 10"

I love the wings and the cute expression! The anatomy is amazing and the shadow on the ground takes great talent to master. Great work!

this has to be my fav pic in your gallery. I love the hair, and the wings are great too! I wish I could color..

Wow! I've never seen a drow-faery done with butterfly wings before! (At least a faery with butterfly wings!)

You really shouldn't be so hard on yourself, it really doesn't look like you did a mistake. It's actually really good for something coloured only in pencil. ^_^

PS- one thing that I think really stands out - apart from the beautiful wings - is her butt. It's really shiny. O.O

you know what, for some strange reason the ring on her leg looks like the ring from the Lord of the Rings movie, I don't maybe it's the engravings on it. Or you could just call me crazy.

AAAHHHH! I'm listening to the Return of the King soundtrack. No wonder the ring looks the The One Ring of Power ARGH! That so freaky.....
