Description Well, the good news is that this was a temporary size change. The bad news is that Daphne's still not letting me off the hook.

In other news, wandering into other continuities oh god what could this mean. (The answer is that none of this is canon and it's just a stupid little story so I can practice drawing.)

So here's Pix, looking more mega-mondo-sized than usual, but the camera's just in close so hey! I'm trying out my fancy new pencils this time, doing outlines, basic shapes, and shading in the softer lead and using the harder for outlines and such. I figured Pix wouldn't give me much grief since I already have a reference for her, and I love size inversion scenarios anyway. Bottom wings are coming in at kind of a funny angle, which is something I'll have to remember for next time.

Also, colors! I'm not really good with the fancy colored pencils in my art kit yet, so I mostly used a few basic Crayola ones. THING I LEARNED: these fancy pencils smudge (on purpose) and look like dog shit when you run a cheap colored pencil over them. Important life lessons!

Also a tiny (heh) shout-out to with Pix's coffee of choice. I probably wouldn't care for it anyway--Pix is the only fairy I've ever seen who doesn't like sugar. Nothing fancy in her coffee. BLACK.  

Hope you get a kick out of this anyway--I'm still learning, but I do welcome feedback and tips from better artists than me (which is most of you)!

The tiny shout-out is appreciated! Cappi sure does love her business! ...also.... YOU CAN DRAW HANDS AND FEET BETTER THAN ME! *Flails* This is coming along great! I really do love seeing your artwork, Will!

These are probably the best hands and feet I've drawn to date. Her hands only mostly look like weird deformed claws. You can probably see all of the eraser marks there (also I couldn't see until I scanned it but the nails on her hand look, like... really bad, like I clearly rushed).

I'm glad you like it, though! I'm starting to feel a little more confident. This is probably the best one I've done yet. I need to get more adventurous in terms of outfits and poses and such ("hand on hip + other hand out to side" can only do so much). But I'm feeling like I might be getting this!

Art is one of those crafts that gets better with time. I know I need to improve on my poses, but it is a work in process!

You will go far, Will.

Fact: Cappi runs a damn popular coffee shop. I totally have to put a nod to her shop in my story.

I'm eventually going to do a drawing with Pix and Cappi and Juniper and, I dunno, Lola Laguna (remember her? from the christmas story? ...no? she likes... she likes peppermint?) all hanging out and drinking coffee and being buddies.

As in the Juniper from my stories? Expect lots of "oh bother" to ensue. xD (she might be tricky as I haven't thought to commission any sort of picture for reference, though)

I assure you that I will find a way to screw it up, as is my wont.
