This started off as a Flower Sketch from my local Winter Gardens. I had an idea to incorporate fairies into the drawing but it ended up with an Oriental theme.
The Butterflies were most definately inspired by the works of

    Gorgeous work – you must do so much planning with you artwork, Anita – it really is incredible!!

  • AnitaInverarity replied

    I usually have a vague plan in my head, but it never turns out that way lol. This one really did just evolve- The flowers were first from a life drawing session and then the figures were going to be fairies, I’m really still not sure how I got to this conclusion lol xx

    Just Awesome!
    I am starting to dabble in the pen and ink phase too, but am not nearly there! I am more of a pencil and paint person at the moment. Hoping ( and Praying)
    ;-) to get to your standard one day by just practicing a bit. I am inspired by your artwork. Lots of detail and a story behind the art! Stunning
    How do you get the grey (lighter) areas, do you use the ink in a different way or do you just water it down or just use a grey ink?

  • AnitaInverarity replied

    Hi- Thank you for your very lovely comment. I’m the opposite in that I want to improve my painting skills (its been a long time since I used a brush). Everything here is drawn with fine liner pens (0.1 to 0.7). The greyer areas are using the finer pen just building up fine dots and lines.
    Hope you enjoy inking, its soooo addictive I find xxx

  • Exultation

    you have a unique and beautiful style of illustration… i reminds me of illustrations in children’s books… the detail and penmanship is superb.
