This book will guide you through drawing and painting the best-known characters of the fairy realm - from goblins and sorceresses to playful gnomes and flower spirits - showing you how to capture their characteristic postures and expressions. Learn how to construct fairy anatomy and wings, how to adorn your characters with beautiful costumes. Linda shows you how to work with colour and composition, building on techniques to copy the fairies in the directory, and guiding you to creating your own designs, drawing inspiration from the gallery of ideas and variations. Bring to life magical elemental beings from the other realms - they?re just waiting to be discovered.
