Description

"i cannot let my dear prince ruin his life for me," she sobbed "i shall go far away where he cant find me. then perhaps he will forget me and marry another fairy who can fly."
.she walked out over the floating leaves of water plants and stepped onto a fallen leaf. she pushed it into the middle of the stream where the fast-flowing current carried her swiftly down the valley'


Im a big Fan of Shirley Barbers fairytales, this is from her book' A Fairy Tale Romance'
In this story a fairy princess is jealous of her sisters beauty and charms and so casts a spell on her so she cant fly. a few princes come along and want to marry the two sisters, but because princess lisette cant fly, and be a proper fairy queen she runs away. the prince comes and finds her and saves her from a lizard. the jealous sister fells bad, removes the spell and is forgiven. they all get married and live happily ever after- your typical fairytale.

I don't see anything here about the type of comments you are looking for... so I hope this one is well-received. I just wanted to say that I agree with most everyone: your shading is wonderful and the landscape looks almost real! It's beautiful. My only critique is that I think the faeries could have been more realistic in appearance. It says that you drew it freehand, but I think you might have been well-off to have used a reference picture to really get the pose and anatomy just right. (You can see that the right arm of the faerie in the foreground is too long, for example.) But that's just my humble opinion. ^_^
