Week Two - #2

This is the first iteration I made of a portrait of the fairy queen. I wanted to try a landscape background of the Fairy Glen on the Isle of Skye in Scotland. I took all my references and pieced them together. I depicted her with a crown, with a wand and with a ball of yarn which is often the visualization of the fairy queen’s power to unravel spells all over Scotland. I drew a portrait based on my references out of pencil. I then showed my drawing to a friend who said that the sitting version of this portrait wasn’t portraying the fairy queen’s power so I designed a second version where she is standing with a conquering pose.
