This mischievous little creature showed up in my sketchbook last night. She just made me smile. I've been known to cause a little mischief myself so I could totally identify with her. Maybe she's a small part of me, who knows... I rather like her! She's cheered me up a bit. After I sketched and shaded her I scanned the page into Photoshop and added a few digital elements.
Today kicks off 30 Days of Creativity. I try to work in my sketchbook every evening. Sometimes nothing comes of it but other times I am surprised at the ideas for paintings that jump out from the page. So I won't post what I do everyday but periodically I'll check in with what I'm working on. I think it's a great idea and love to see people getting excited about art! How cool is that!

I sure wish I could muster up the creativity and dedication to my writing that you do to with your art. Very nice!
So beautiful. She makes me think of cold frosty mornings
The Pixie reminds me of my nephew. Mischief planning in eyes. :)
She definitely has a mysterious expression! I'd keep a close eye on her if I were you. Fantastic!
What a great pixie, Pam! Love her eyes, her expression and oh - those wings! Wow!!
Fabulous!
Very mysterious, just the way a pixie ought to be. Beautiful :-)
She is gorgeous- I love the way the whites of her eyes and the delicate tracery of her wings POP against the background- WONDERFUL!
BTW, when you sketch each night, do start with an idea of what you want to do or just doodle until it becomes something? Sketching is a discipline I need to get back into!
Thank you ALL! Your comments mean so much to me. I really appreciate you taking the time to comment. :)
Stephanie: You know, I usually don't have any idea what I will end up with when I start to sketch. I know it will be some kind of face and am always surprised that they can still turn out different each time. ;)
She does look as if she is thinking up some engaging mischief, doesn't she? Great evocative work, Roland

I love the mint- colored hues in this piece- very shadowy/twilight feeling and her gossamer wings make her truly enchanted. Beautiful!
She made me smile too, so the feeling must be contagious. I love her dark colors, and that expression on her face that says, "I have a secret and I won't share!"
