Big Eye Fairy Angel Mermaid Sketch Art...

Here is a sketch of a big eyed femme.  I think this maiden has a very serene look with some wisdom.  I think she could be an angel fairy, although she could also be a mermaid.  She reminds me a little of a Native American actress from a show I'm watching...  I'm unsure if I'll paint her or not, but I did enjoy sketching her.

Angel Fairy Big Eye Art Original Painting Work in Progress WIP Lips!

Here is a teensy bit of work in progress on my 11"x14" original gothic angel fairy painting.  This is a partial view of the painting, just what would fit on my scanner, the photograph I took was skewed.  I've painted her lips, actually in this wip it's the second time I've painted her lips, she seems to want multiple layers on every aspect of her...  I'm going to add a bit more shading to her neck and face as well as a few other details before I move on to her dress, but clothing is coming and then dare I say it, eventually even hair!  Well, I can hope anyway...

Big Eye Gothic Angel Fairy Sketch Art...

Here is a sketch of a big eye gothic maiden.  I'm not really certain if she is a mermaid, fairy, angel, or goddess.  I think she has a wise look to her eyes, so I am leaning towards angel or goddess.  I'm not sure if I'll paint her or not, but I did enjoy sketching her.

Angel Fairy Big Eye Art Original Painting Work in Progress WIP + Alien Femme Art Website Update...

Here is a work in progress view of my 11"x14" original gothic angel fairy painting.  So, I'm still working on her neck...  I was trying for a very pale cool hue for her, but it wasn't working for me, so I'm now going back to a warmer hue.  I will be moving forward to her face soon, and then possibly some glazing for shadows.  I still want her to be pale, but not quite as cool.  I haven't made much progress on her this week as I'm changing directions, but I will hopefully finish her sometime this year!  Well, I can hope anyway...  I very much believe that each painting takes as long as it needs, and this painting certainly has its own timescale...
