cyclamen fairy






















I brought some cyclamen home from the grocery store -- the folds of the foliage (and the delicate teardrop petals) just implored to be drawn. I feel like I really captured the leaves, at least.

Afterward, I brushed in the flower fairy, though you can't really see her well unless you click on the image. I deliberately left the features blurry. I'd keep "fixing" her, but the piece already feels overworked.
