The fun of fairy fantasy art is that you have a lot of ideas and myths to use as material for your art. You can pick from imagination alone or you can select myths or you can even use the Celtic religions and beliefs as other fairy artists often do.
Take any three very different fairy artists and their fairies look completely different. This is not just a matter of style. Of course this does play a role in the look. It is the fairies themselves that make the difference. Many fairy artists have moved away from the traditional fairy images of old. They use women for their fairies instead of children or elves. These women have the essence of women that are very different from the delicate child images that have gone before. Fairies have grown up and come of age. Yet they have kept their charm and our fascination with them is as strong as ever. It seems it does not matter if the fairy is a child, an ethereal being or a woman we are still fascinated by them.
The question is how do you decide on how your fairy looks? To begin with it is easy. You learn by copying techniques, by following your favourite artist styles and themes or by using one of the many art books out there. But what then? What happens when you can imitate your favourite artists really well? You can't sell the art because the copyright is theirs not yours and although it is OK for a student to learn from other artists, it is not OK to take their work. Be truthful to yourself, do you really want your work to be a cheap copy of their work? Probably not. You will want to strike out on your own, develop your own style and themes and use your own ideas. This is only natural.
Things to think about when deciding on your fairy fantasy art can be anything from colour to background to general theme. If you express yourself your own style will develop overtime. Think about the type of fairy you want to portray. Is it a young fairy, perhaps a child. Or is she a young strong woman or a delicate ethereal being with petite features and tiny wings? Do you want her in a full background or a quiet mix of colours with a simple tree or moon or essence of what she is? How do you want her clothes? What era is she in? Is she for example gothic, Celtic or medieval in nature. Each clothing style will be very different. Whatever decisions you make it is important that you have fun and enjoy creating your fairy fantasy art as this will show in your final work.
The aim of the fairy fantasy art site is to help those who want to enjoy fantasy art find everything they need. It doesn't matter if you simply want to find a picture, if you want to create an artwork in a traditional medium or if you want to learn the exiting world of 3D art http://fairyfantasyart.net aims to help.
