Fairies in Colored Pencil

Bring the alluring and mysterious world of fairies to life with Fairies in Colored Pencil.

After a short introduction to colored pencil techniques, the book provides a sketchbook of various kinds of fairies, as well as an assortment of physical characteristics, including wing types.

Step-by-step projects then help guide artists, first with creating individual fairies in graphite and colored pencil and then progressing to full artwork that includes fantasy settings and backgrounds.

Approachable and inexpensive, colored pencils allow beginning artists to create vibrant, unique artwork and experiment with color and technique. For beginning to intermediate artists, color mixing and blending is introduced and explained, as well as shading and perspective. Additionally, artists will find templates that can be photocopied or scanned to use over and over again.

Fairies in Colored Pencil is the perfect resource for both beginning and advanced artists who love fairy tales and fantasy.
