Sketchbook - Bird Fae

Happy Saint Patty's Day! I'm sitting at the computer drinking tea and eating fresh scones as I type. I'm not wearing a stitch of green though.


Little, childlike hummingbird faeries! I think these guys came out awfully cute and they're high on my list of "things I need to paint in color." I was thinking of a Ruby Throated for the little girl at the bottom, since that's the species that always came to the feeders in RI.

Also, the sketch on the right was attacked by the memory of the 80's and his hair suffered a mullet.


This was the first page I sketched of the bird faeries. Again, I think that adding some color would really separate them from harpies. That, their humanoid arms, and their tendency to hunt insects and drink nectar rather than eating human beings.
