Well... *cough* Barbie - Mariposa, the butterfly fairy is probably not the kind of fanart one would expect from me (I couldn't refuse, yet - not that special person who wanted it ).

Please feel free to criticise I'm sure you'd notice something I didn't.

Positive aspect: I managed to draw this without a sketch - this means directly with black marker without making suuuch grave mistakes. Negative aspect: I didn't make a sketch because I don't have the slightest idea how to sketch decently (you know, the circles and lines stuff ) Err, her anatomy is weird and the pose is somewhat... stiff. Well, it's a doll. Note to self: Dolls with weird, idealised anatomy are not to be used as reference *lol*
_{even less so if one is not exactly able to draw correct anatomy and interesting poses}.

Positive aspect: I made her wings transparent instead of just pink like in the movie. Negative aspect: I had to do this because I noticed I forgot to draw her wings - after lining the background *G* (the wings were pure hell - I don't know why, probably lack of practice once again).

Positive aspect: So... colourful... Negative aspect: Done with cheap markers --> looks like a children's colouring. Probably a decent artist *glances at certain people on her watch list* would be still able to shade beautifully even with such materials.

Positive aspect: So... glittering, even with different glitter glues for the different objects! Negative aspect: Scanner ate the effect, of course -.-

Positive aspect: I somewhat like her stubborn face and the punk-ish make-up. Negative aspect: Not so Barbie-sh anymore because of that XD.

Oh well, at least I scanned the outlines, so I'll be able to colour this somewhat better - hopefully (computer is more forgiving than markers...) and I'll put this one in scraps ^^

Reference: Original doll
Time: Approximately 4h
