SEPTEMBER CONTEST: Ink Fairy

Sara Nilsson · 8 Oct 2020, 22:11

Ok so here we go. My take on
"Today was the day, she just KNEW it. Today, Ellie would finally snap a photo of an ink fairy."
I thought of Ellie as an old lady who has ben chasing photographs of fairies her whole life, but newer caught the sneaky ink fairy. But today she´s got a god feeling.

@Sara-Nilsson just wow

Hello! Here's my submission this month.

I liked the idea of the fairies being a little impish and ornery, so I went with that angle. I hope you enjoy!

@Sara-Nilsson This is a great take on the prompt, I love her!

@Rachel-Horne @aska, oh thanks glad you like it

Well, here it is! Never inked before, so a true learning experience. I tried to keep it simple, and focus on storytelling and composition... hope you like it

@Sara-Nilsson I love your old lady character design.

I remember when I used the pen brush the first time, I was hooked! Love this month challenge.
Here is my submission. it took a lot of me to get Ellie's design down, the turning point for this piece was when I added the magnifying glass.

@kimmypie Thank you she´s based of my grandmother

Hi everyone, loving the entries so far!

I decided to go with traditional inking this time and really enjoyed the change in medium.

Hi everyone. Just signed up with SVSLearn and thought I'd give this prompt a shot.

I wondered what the picture itself would look like.

@Chris-W welcome to the forum and welcome to learning.

My first entry into the monthly contest in quite some time. I was pleased with my fairy design, but struggled mightily with how I wanted to place Ellie. "Finished, not perfect" though, right?

Hi Everyone,

Great entries so far!
Here is my entry. I enjoyed trying out some inking brushes in procreate.

Wow, so much talent at SVS. I wasn't going to participate this month, but then realized it's way more fun if my entry is in the mix. Good luck everyone!
