Artist's Comments

Soooo... what have I been working on all semester at school? Well a couple of series that is. And now that those series are coming to completion I can start posting them.

This is from a series of fantasy portraits done for my interpretive illustration class. Basically I used people in my class as models and turned them into fairies - fairies that embody the seasons.

I used a Gulf Fritillary butterfly as reference for the fairy wings in this one.

Media: Chalk pastel on rust coloured paper

I don't like this as much as winter... she's a bit... crooked... without being crooked... very uncomfortable effect. And a little pale, and I don't like the sleeves... but composition is great, your technique is very good and I'm sure she looks just like the model :-)
I love this idea of yours and can't wait to see the rest :-)

Thank you very much! I can see what you're saying about the shape of her head, she doesn't have much bulk up there. Maybe it's because she has really flat hair, who knows? XD

In regards to the forehead, though, I think she'd have too much forehead if I raised her hairline anymore. I think part of it has to do with the fact that it's a portrait. If I changed the hairline it wouldn't look quite like her anymore and because of that it wouldn't look quite right to me.
