Drawn to the Flame

Description

So this is a piece I did for a Secret Santa exchange. The person that I did this for was actually my inspiration.... she reminds me of a Fae kind of person... she has that kind of beauty. And she seems to have more warm colors to her personality instead of flashy like a butterfly's wing so I used a Lunar Moth as the inspiration for the fairy in this. 

 

So... that forbidden kind of love that you see when it comes to a moth and a light... this is my take on it. I had quite a bit of fun thought it was seriously a lot of work and I probably should have been more apt to spending time on my college finals then working on a drawing but... I feel like it was worth it; I'm really proud of how it turned out and my Secret Santa person loved it <3 So that's what's important ^.^


I sketched this out as per usual, in my sketchbook with my mechanical pencil before scanning the work into the computer to line and color. This was purely from my imagination except for a couple reference photos for the patterns on the wings... but otherwise this was purely my own knowledge and decisions and the wonderful tools I have available to me in CorelPainter. 


Comments are appreciated ^.^
