Well, here's an element. Guess how many fingers she has, not one, not two, not three, not four, not five, yes, that's right, six! It was a complete accident, but I like it anyway. I should do more elements. Please tell me what you think.

I think it's a great start. The finger number is great... helps put her across as something other than human. The hair could have been dyed so that helps. The flow of it is great. Love the hair. The hands are good too, but the hands and face together don't seem to fit. The face is too big or the hands are too small. Looks good otherwise though. 2

This is very pretty. Her head is too big though, and remember, eyes are 1 eyelength apart...

*squints at fingers* @_@ anyway... I think it's great! I have a thing for wavy hair...*drools* I love the colour! Someone I know told me 15 year olds can't draw, (cuz I'm 15 and am better than him, *evil laugh*). let's steal his socks!

1 Alisea R. Zenk replies: "I don't see why 15 year olds wouldn't be able to draw, I can, you can, he's weird. Maybe we can steal his shoes too!"

You have a unique style that I love. There's a wealth of originality in your pictures, and this one is stunning. The soft colors suit her beautifully, and I like the flowing, graceful lines of the hair. She has a classically beautiful face, and the six fingers make her truly unique.

2 Alisea R. Zenk replies: "Thank you! I always thought that other people were more original than me though. I hadn't thought of her as classically beautiful, thanks for noticing!"

I really love your color choices on this one, and it's very pretty and stylized looking. Reminds me a bit of Mercer Mayer's fairytale illustrations. I didn't read your comment before studying the picture, so I did a bit of a double take on the hands. 2 Don't worry... it looks interesting and adds some mystique to the picture. Many professional artists make similar mistakes.

I agree with whoever it was above that mentioned that the proportions are off a bit. It works for the stylized look, but you should check out the elfwood FARP on facial proportions. Here: http://elfwood.lysator.liu.se/farp/face_n_head_1/FandH.html

I just love how long and flowy her hair is, though. It's the main reason I stopped to comment on the picture. 2 It's beautiful.
