Today’s fairy introduction at Some Odd Girl is Brella Fairy! I really had alot of fun drawing this one and I think she came out pretty well π I colored her imagining the light would be shining thru the leaf and leaving a leafy green glow on her face and ears. I hope that’s the idea that’s portrayed lol.
Another thing I did a little different with coloring her is that instead of the usual purple I add to the deep shadow areas I used YG93 and YG95 for that, just to add to the green feel. On the dew drops I colored the leaf then used my colorless blender to push out the droplet areas, added a little blue then did it again. I wanted to add white highlights with my opaque white but I totally messed it up when I realized I didn’t have a tiny brush and tried to improvise :3
Note to self… buy tiny paint brushes.Β
To make this card, I used papers from Sass, Crate and WRMK; distress ink for the sentiment; uniball Signo for the white faux stitching; PTI for the cloud dies and I colored Brella Fairy with copics.
Check out what the rest of the girls created today on the SOG Blog!Β
