Learn To Draw Fairies



Fairies are considered to be very whimsical and magical. They are usually depicted to be beautiful, delicate and mysterious. They also bring an aura with them that makes you feel as if you were in some enchanted forest. Although they are mythical creatures, a lot of artists love drawing them. If you want to learn to draw fairies, here are some things that you should consider and try.

Your Fairy Your Rules

Since fairies are mythical creatures, there is no fixed parameters in which you would be limited to in drawing them. All those beautiful fairy pictures, drawings and paintings you have seen are all products of their respective artists’ imagination. This is why, as an artist that wants to draw fairies, you would have all the power to do so.

All you need to do is imagine. Create a vision of your own fairy in your mind and this would be your guide. If you want your fairy to be a boy or girl, it all depends on you. However, for starters it is recommended that you start out with a female fairy, since this is the common.

The Traditional Fairy Look

Most of the time, fairies are depicted to be women in small sizes that have wings. They are also usually beautiful. They also glow at times or has a very colourful aura. They have the ability to fly. Their wings are most of the time depicted to be similar to a dragonfly’s, which is transparent and slender. However, in some other renditions, fairies are seen to have butterfly like colourful wings that matches their colourful clothes. Of course, there is also the ever present magic wand.

Basic Body Parts

Fairies have two major body parts. One would be the human like body, which is generally similar to a human’s figure. The second would be the wings. In some cases, artists add a little twist with their fairies. They do this by giving them pointed ears. Some would even make the head shape a little pointed too. It still depends on you whichever style you want to go for.

So basically, you would just have to draw a woman. Then, make her whimsical by adding a pair of wigs on her back. For the hair, you could either give her extremely long hair or extremely short hair with a pointed head. The hair color could also vary depending on your imagination. Almond shaped eyes are common among fairies too.

Clothing And Accessories

For clothing, your fairy can wear something that is close to nature, especially if the type of fairy that you want to draw is the kind that lives in the forest. Most fairies appear to be wearing a miniskirt that has asymmetrical edges. Their long slender legs are also prominent with their clothing. For accessories, you can draw a flower garland around their head of around their waist in a way that it would look like a belt hanging loosely. You can also add a pouch to their belt, just like the one where Tinkerbell keeps her fairy dust.

The Environment

For your fairy to appear more magical you should draw her in her environment. Again, this would depend on you. She can be playing in a pond, beside a flower or sitting at a rock. Whatever the environment is, make it appear magical and out of this world.
