Sketch of Big Eye Fairy, Art Sketches Daily, November 20, Sketchbook...



Here is a sketch of a big eyed gothic maiden.  She seems to have a wise gaze.  I think she is most likely a fairy angel, although she could also be a goddess or a mermaid.  I'm unsure if I'll paint her or not, but I did enjoy sketching her.   She is in my tiny sketchbook that measures 3.5x5.5 inches.  I am using Col-Erase Prismacolor pencils, I like having the option to erase a bit.


I've decided to try and do a sketch a day in November.  This is day 20.

This is a sketch in colored pencils.  You may see some of my finished paintings at lisarusso.com if you'd like.  I'm not really a colored pencil artist but I am exploring something new for the sketchbook.  I will be juxtaposing my usual rough sketches with the colored pencil sketches at varying intervals.  I tend to sketch very lightly, so these and my usual pencil ones are darkened a bit in photoshop for online viewing.

I am also participating in Sunday Sketches.  To view more Sunday Sketches, please visit:

  2. I could never get the Col-Erase Prismacolor to erase, so gave up on erasing and switched to pens lol

  4. Thanks so much Valerie-Jael, Christine, Jennifer, and Martin. I think the lines have to be fairly faint for the col-erase to erase, I'm so impressed by people who sketch in ink...

Thanks for visiting! I'm unable to comment on google+ sites that don't have the blog links, but I do visit. For some reason, even though I've said no to word verification, it still shows here. If you're logged in to Google or OpenID, you should still be able to post by clicking enter without filling in the word verification. I'm sorry about the glitch...
