Artist's Comments

This was actually a project for my animation class. It had to be an ORIGINAL drawing that you made. Basically, its for a silent auction to raise money for my animation program. Since I havent had anything to submit in eons, I thought I'd put this up :D

I've been thinking lately that I draw way too much anime/fanart, and not enough of anything else. So I decided to draw a fairy sprinkling magic on a red rose ^_^ The fairy wasnt actually a fairy at first--she started out as an angel picking up a flower but then I thought that I should draw a fantasy type of drawing for once. I havent drawn fantasy stuff such as dragons, fairies, unicorns, etc etc in a long long long time.....
It felt good to draw something different for once. I hafta say that I go all over the place with what I like to draw. I've been also thinking about drawing trees again. Trees used to be my life and thats all I eva drew, then I stopped and started working on realism, then it was back to anime again. I always end up drawing anime. I go throught tiny spurts of other styles, then turn around and draw anime once more. ^^; ah well....w/e tickles your fancy, I guess.

The fairy is no one in particular, just a model for a character I once had for a fanfic, but neva materialized into anything. Thats what my character would've looked like, minus the wings and the blue highlights ( :hmm: although, I do actually like them in her hair now that I think about it :hmm: :nod: )
My fav flower is indeed the rose so of course I had to put one in there. I either like blue, red, or black roses. They just look so gorgeous and romantic. I wasnt exactly sure on what color to make the rose at first, but then I decided to make it red. That would be the focal point of the drawing. Thats where you would focus, and it works. Vivid colors always do that to you. Its so strange how things work!
I think the flower not only made you focus, but it created the mood, after all......
Where there are flowers, there are fairies :rose:

(done with Prismacolor pencils)

thanks :aww: actually I wasnt too impressed when I was finished coloring in the wings. It just looked sloppy to me....I dunno....I'm weird ^^;
I still think the picture was really good though ( ^^; sometimes I think I have a big head, but usually I dont say good things about my drawings so heheheh ^^; )

Ooohoo! Very very pretty
haha at a first glance she reminded me of Rinoa from FF8 must be the blue- that's not a bad thing though! ^__^
The colors are so vibrant, and it's so cool how you blended the three shades for the grass! No fair T.T I try layering colors like that but it never just works so well.
excellent, truly excellent
How big was the paper you made this on?

You know I think of about like fifty wonderful, Glorious things to throw on here at work, and then forget them all as soon as I get home! >.<

thanks! uh...regular size printer paper....heheh ^^; about that...if you're talking about when you zoom in on the picture and how it goes off the page cuz its so BIG, well ^^; I cant make it smaller...do you know how to? I got it to work ONCE...never again...you gotta know a trick to that..... ^^; I'm dumb... ^^;

yeah, actually now that I look at it, her hair does resemble rinoa's (that was an accident but I dont care)...hmm...meh, just a little. :shrug: actually (I think I mentioned this in my comments but) she was based off a character that I made but neva used in a fanfic. She looks almost identical to the fairy 'cept I put blue streaks in her hair. My character had red streaks. ^_^
Yeah, trying to get the layers was hard. I messed up a few times and the sucky thing about these prismacolor pencils is that its IMPOSSIBLE to erase them.....I mean, usually I can erase and fade the pencil mess ups if its a different brand, but all these pencils do is smudge and make a mess :bleh:

I definately need more practice. I've seen other people's work using these pencils and they are truly amazing! The layering, and the shading is awesome! I'm really inspired to draw more pics of Gaara! I must!! It was hard to figure out what to draw cuz all my ideas were taken and I didnt wanna copy someone else's work. I've got some ideas so YAY!

I wanna work on photoshop so badly!! I have a little more time to do other things but, I'm still at it with the projects. On top of that, at school, two of my teachers (english/gov't) made an assignment together and I'm getting two seperate grades for it and each teacher wants something different. Its a report on a famous case in the supreme court. It wouldn't be so bad if my one teacher didnt add her own stuff that she wanted. It has to be all professionally written using some weird writing system......trust me its not good at all.....I havent had any projects all year---at school that is. If they were projects, it was for computer class and thats easy stuff!

Anyways, I NEED my mangas!!! I want to read them so bad!!!!!! AHHHHH!!!!! heheh ^^; mandy is so fed up with me whining about it but she doesnt have the right to complain, cuz I hafta go through the same torture with her lovely bakura/cain/satoshi/sesshy.... :evillaugh:

I know you're still reading Angel Sanctuary, but GodChild ( or Count Cain if you will) is really good!!! Its awesome!! I've got a feeling that its gonna be another series you will obsess over. Yeah, it's not AS, but it's still freaking sweet!!!! Its a must read!!! Check it out when you get the chance (and when you wanna start another manga series)
