Scribble Picnic–Fairy

     I don’t often draw human (or "fairy"!) figures, but had to give it a try with this week’s Scribble Picnic theme.  I started with a couple of sketches as seen on the right below.  Our daughter-in-law chose a Tinker Bell theme for the nursery when our oldest granddaughter was born, so I switched to using the leftover material from making curtains for my fairy inspiration.  I debated staying with regular pencil, but decided T. Bell would be more recognizable in color.  (Note to self–get some quality colored pencils ordered!)  You can see the fairies others chose to draw by clicking on the links at this page.  I hated missing last week’s Lantern theme, but we took a trip to see some of the grandkids for a few days, then went on to spend several more days “touristing” in central and north central Oklahoma.  We quite often take a short trip of some kind in March, our anniversary month.  This year marks 34!

  1. HI
    I too am not confident in drawing figures but the more I do it the better it feels. Your fairy is lovely. Last week we were away with our grandkids in Disney Land. They came from Ontario Canada to Arizona. It was an 8 hour drive there, 6 back. We spent two days at Disney and 5 days to recover. But we had a blast and lots of memories. I did my lantern before going.

  4. I do love your cute little fairy.....I think she looks Disney, and that's all the fairies I really know.
    I love to draw people...but I've never done "fairies"....so I guess I drew a girl and added wings...HaHa...I think I better concentrate on boats. HaHa

  5. You did a lovely job on the Fairies theme, Joeks! While I like to draw people, mostly faces, I found this week's theme a little daunting as I've never drawn Fairies. All good practice though.

    Happy 34th Anniversay to you and your husband! No doubt you had a lovely time away.

  6. Awesome idea to use the fabric piece - and a very pretty one for curtains for a girl's room. Love your rendition of T. Bell!

    Glad your trip was fun - congrats. on 34 years - we are celebrating 52 in another week - and off on a trip in May.
