With the help of this indispensable guide, even novices can get started digitally rendering the magical figures known as fairies. The accompanying CD contains hundreds of art fairy characters, poses, accessories, backgrounds, and props.

Fairies are beloved figures in folklore and literature — and in the imaginations of millions of artists and dreamers. The high-resolution artwork and the tutorials in Fairies Art Studio will teach you how to:

• Create your fairy (be it a pixie, a wood fairy, a gothic fairy, or a flower fairy) using airbrushing and painterly techniques
• Color your fairy and accessorize her with wands, wings, hair decorations, and spell books
• Place your fairy in a background, adding trees and shrubs, flowers and toadstools, and more
• Add magical effects such as sparkles
• Develop or personalize your own fairy scenes by mixing and matching various clip art elements
• Manipulate your images using Photoshop

The diverse fairy elements in this enchanting, hands-on guide illustrated by popular manga and fairy artist, Yishan Li, provides unlimited creative inspiration for beginners as well as experienced digital artists.
