FAIRIES: Drawing Mythical Creatures ✶ Sketch & Watercolour/Gouache Painting Process🧚‍♀️| Inês Andias

✶ As sixth part of my 'Drawing Mythical Creatures' series, I've decided to do Fairies (or Faeries) 🧚‍♀️

A fairy is a type of mythical being or legendary creature found in the folklore of multiple European cultures, a form of spirit, often described as metaphysical, supernatural, or preternatural.
The label of fairy has at times applied only to specific magical creatures with human appearance, magical powers, and a penchant for trickery. At other times it has been used to describe any magical creature, such as goblins and gnomes. Fairy has at times been used as an adjective, with a meaning equivalent to "enchanted" or "magical". It is also used as a name for the place these beings come from, the land of Fairy.

In this video I draw several sketches on a sketchbook spread of my interpretation of Fairies and create a composition for a traditional painting using watercolour, acrylic gouaches and metallic ink 💖 not all sketches I do are from imagination. I use references to sketch and get into the mood of the paintings. I'm always looking into the work of amazing fantasy artists like Iain McCaig, Alan Lee that are a true inspiration and help me learn so much about drawing and art.
