Red Head Fairy in Markers

This " Red Headed Fairy," is from a great tutorial by Karen Campbell for Awesome Art School.

I wasn't too anxious to start this lesson. I didn't think I did so well with the last watercolor tutorial for shading and highlights. I liked it when it was finished though.

I drew this fairy with a Graphgear 1000 pencil in a Ohuhu Spiral-Bound Pad.  I outlined the drawing with black Molotow Blackliners, and used three shades of Ohuhu Markers placing the highlights where I thought they should go. I used a brown Copic Marker for some depth in the shading and an additional Gell pen for facial highlights. I used the blackliner  for her eye make up.

I love how this fairy came out in the markers! I'm so glad I worked on it!
