Broken Fairy
Little Swan on Dec. 27, 2009
This is a little out of the ordinary for me; darker than I usually do. However, she came into my head and I just had to draw her.
I'm uncertain on whether I want to colour digitally or by hand… I may try digital, then colouring by hand and scanning again.
I know I say on here a lot about going back and colouring, and I never do… but I will try this time!

Hilarie- Bless you :) Tommy- Thank you. She really does need to cheer up, yes :D Mostly I love the boots. Ulrika- I got confused on the eye too (see below) Sarah- Thank you, as always, for the brilliant advice. Self criticism is such a vice, unfortunately. For the eye, see below, but I think you are right; I need to move one. THE EYE: Looking back, I dislike the eye as much as anybody else probably does. When drawing it, the lack of eye looked surprisingly better than once inked and scanned etc, but I decided to leave it as is. I've seen similar sorts of eye styles before and tried a hand at it but I think now I've seen it, I won't try again. I really like the boots though!

Dear Little Swan, I feel your drawing is real good and worth coloring. Its an art work you should save for future use or referance. Tommy P.S.Her hips and waist Do Not Look Stupid!She is a fairy and thats how she looks! Tommy

aww so self critical!! The sign of a true artist! I love this pic. The eye is definitely the only sore point in the pic. At first glance I took what I think now is the eye make-up to be a tearstain or a closed-up watery eye. It is a litle confusing as you describe it as a dark picture and maybe that explains her expression, but it didn't come across as dark to me, as I thought maybe she was winking at us instead. The rest of the picture is gorgeous though so don't worry about it.:) Forget the eye and the colouring just keep going and move on. Every picture is an improvement even though it may not seem so at the time and the more time you spend on past pics is time spent just treading water. Happy New Year btw!

she looks fine, but I must agree with Tommym, that I got confused by the eye-is she crying or does she lack one eye?

Dear Swans, She looks cute except for her eye. I guess she is crying.You put in nice details like the chains,and garder belt. Does she feel sad? She needs to smile. tommym
