Today's attempt:
My 7 year old daughter draws better than this! I have no concept of how to shade the drawing, so I didn't even attempt that yet. I'm not sure I succeeded in making the fairy look as though she is sitting with her knees pulled up in front of her. She is much more simplified than I intended her to be (as is the tiny dragon in the picture). I made her smaller on the toadstool than I meant to, so I didn't have a lot of room to really draw her face properly. I did not get the proportions correct. The list of my failures in this attempt at drawing could go on and on, but at least you can tell my fairy is a fairy.
And I will improve.
I love this. I think it's great that you're teaching yourself to draw. It's something I've always wanted but the best I can do is trace something. I know I'll never be a great artist, but that won't stop me from drawing or attempting to draw. I try not to look at flaws anymore either, like a lack of shading. I just say it's part of my "style". :)
