Fairytale
This started off as a sketch for my Wonderland artwork series (it was going to be Alice and the Caterpillar- but the caterpillar gradually morphed into this dragon and I felt like doing a primarily pen-and-ink work this time around. So Alice was put on the backburner for a little bit and instead we have a little girl and her dragon friend set against a silver sky with a blue moon. One only knows what they could be talking about…..
Original artwork measures 12.5×19 inches approx. and is for sale (email redeye@designbyredeye.com to inquire). Medium is primarily pen and ink, with some silver sharpie and blue marker in the background. On sky blue Canson Mi-Tientes acid-free art paper.

I wander if the dragon will tell a story
Lynnette Shelley replied
I am sure he/she WILL tell a story. Probably a tall tale too…. dragons tend to embellish things! lol

Whoooaaah! You rock. I love this. It has the feel of St. Exupery’s Little Prince for some reason. Very very nice!!!
Lynnette Shelley replied
Shame on me, I have never read the little Prince (surprisingly!) when I was younger, though I am familiar with name of the book etc. I will have to correct that as I am sure it would give me more drawing ideas.

I love the dragon. It turns out really nicely though a bit far from alice, its still an adventure :))) wonderous!
Lynnette Shelley replied
I’d go on an adventure with a friendly dragon. wouldn’t you? :) Thanks
Ming Myaskovsky
Love dragons!! :)
How gorgeous is this, incredibly stunning with such great detailed, I love the pose you have created, Bravo!! ;D
Lynnette Shelley replied
Thanks Ming. :)
EvaBridget
Wow! Excellent work Lynnette.
I love the choise of colour for the “disc” in the background. I would probably have gone for the classic red to go with the dragon but this is perfect!
Lynnette Shelley replied
Actually I was going to do red for the moon, but decided to NOT to because that would be my first inclination. Don’t want to get stuck in a color rut! lol. Anyway, thanks Eva.
Helene Henderson

gorgeous style of illustration, simple yet every aspect is sharply defined, child-like but masterful. to me, this is experience and innocence rolled into one.
Lynnette Shelley replied
Thank you very much. I love the work I’ve seen by you so far so I’m very flattered you like this.

What a great sketch!
Lynnette Shelley replied
Thank you Donna. :)
Colin Cartwright
Excellent sketch, Lynnette. I like the monotone and the single colour blue. The girl with the cute hair bob, confronts the serpent beast. Maybe a hint of Eve, in the garden of Eden?
Adding you to watchlist.
Lynnette Shelley replied
Hey thanks Colin.
