yeah i wasnt that happy with that area either. i tried to find someone to collab with me but nobody was interested, so... oh well. hey klox, could you give me a tip where im off on the proportions?

QM: It really depends on what you're trying to achieve here. There's minimal shading and definition on the figure, was that intentional as part of the style? The figure is grounded on a slightly textured hill, which also doesn't have much form to it and would be consistent with the overall style of the piece.

If you intended this piece to have form and dimension, I would say you need to do a bit more shading, treating all the forms in the image as basic 3-D shapes (cylinders, cubes, spheres, etc.). If on top of that, you intended the fairy's anatomy to be similar to that of a human, I would check out some anatomy books, preferably ones made for artists. Here some quick and basic references I just found:
- basic human proportions
- 60 pages of Dynamic Figure Drawing by Burne Hogarth
- a nice little proportions tutorial

Holy crap! There's a book!? I want one! You've done a very nice little homage to our Zep. Thanks for the biblio-update and the picture.

Beautiful colors.

Thank you!!! Since this is my first attempt, I was afraid I'd lose what I'd started if I didn't submit it, so it's unfinished (for now). I love the default colors in Lascaux; I was able to use them as my 'jumping off point' for every stroke! I love this website!

I like this alot.

Very pretty, I feel like I'm there.
