Alunwye
Alunwye by @ginasadiren (Jessica Hawks)

Faerie (or Fairy) Alunwye

I'm....semi-pleased with how this picture turned out. I screwed up outlining her lips so it looks like she has on black lipstick and of course I'm still struggling a bit with the Fountain Tip pen for outlining but I think I'm improving a slight bit, not much....but a little.

Then theres the acorn...I screwed up the color royally on that one.

The one thing that turned out right in this picture for me and I'm honestly suprised by this. For once what I was trying to achieve worked a bit on Alunwye herself. I wanted her to have a flower like appearence. The hair, and the wings representing the petals while the dress representing the stem and leaves off of a flower in a garden. The dress might now have been perfect but hey, to me I think that turned out decent enough.

I think the acorn looks lovely; it has a lot of texture and is very organic-looking. The only thing I would suggest to improve, it, really, is to add a little shading around the cap so it looks more rounded.

The dress is lovely too, and those wings are super-cool. ^^ You got the flower look down very well, IMO.

My trick for lips is to not outline them at all (or, as you said, you get black lipstick, or worse, chola lipliner), but to just ink the line of the mouth and define the lips purely with color. Try it. ^^

Thanks alot for the great advice, especially with the lips. I'll try that on the next picture I draw! :)
