@Dima-Eichhorn My niece is pretty good at art for her age and I have introduced her to watercolour, gouache, pencil crayon qualities, oil pastel, acrylic, and shown her my soft pastels.

@Dima-Eichhorn I love it! Beautiful design and shading but wasn’t it meant to be fully black and white?

Hi! I'm Scharon, here is my version of the Ink Fairy. I am not a student at SVS (though I hope to be in the near future) but was so inspired by the contest that I decided to share my sketch. I figured the Ink Fairy probably needs some life-experience if she's gonna protect ink and bring creativity to all, that's why she's old, for wisdom you know :))

Lovsey · 11 Sept 2020, 07:06

Hi @Scharon! I love your take on the ink fairy concept, especially that she is elderly and part bird - amazing. Is that a ferret she is riding? So cute!

Scharon · 11 Sept 2020, 16:00

@Lovsey awh thank you for your kind words! Yes, it's a ferret! I figured, why not haha

Not first but one of the first.
Ellie was hoping for a good shot but the ink fairy got one instead. Hehehe.

@chrisaakins hahaha, this is funny

“Today was the day, she just KNEW it. Today, Ellie would finally snap a photo of an ink fairy.“

I intially choose to go with a first person perspective of the moment when the ink fairy was finally coaxed out.

i really do have to give a shout-out to those who gave me some good insight and support. *******Thanks @ambiirae @Jeremy-Ross @carolinebautista @Julia @Coley *******

@dafoota looks beautiful the changes look great!

frankiiij · 12 Sept 2020, 01:50

@ambiirae Thank you. “with great support comes great change.” SMH ... I know ... haha ... cheezy ... but true.

@Dima-Eichhorn I really love the idea of a tatted up fairy! Not sure I'll get the chance though as my illustration will mostly focus on Ellie.

jdubz · 15 Sept 2020, 17:06

Here's my entry. I wanted to workshop it some more, but my wife is going out of town so I'll be soloing the home schooling situation for the next couple weeks so I will likely have no time :). Figured I'd just run with my initial idea, finish it up and post it before she left haha.

Looking forward to seeing everyone's upcoming work!

djlambson · 14 Sept 2020, 17:56

@jdubz looking like a winner to me! very nice.

Sara Nilsson · 14 Sept 2020, 17:56

Estrela Lourenco · 14 Sept 2020, 20:18

Hello, it's my first time participating in the SVS art contests. I tried to use the prompt and practise for a cover design with my owl Fairy of the Lost Ones! Hope you like it
