Fairy among the Roses

Fairy named Tru among the Roses

We went to a wedding in Idaho this weekend.  I drew the bride and groom as fairies last week.  It was a beautiful wedding We believe that marriages can last for all eternity.  We stayed at a new type of hotel called Tru by Hilton.  It was rather unique.  One of the clerks was kind enough to let me draw her as a fairy.  I don't remember the clerk's name, and as I have said before, it is hard to capture a person's true beauty with a fine point felt marker.  I only took a picture of the woman's face so the body is based on a fairy statue.  I chose to put this fairy in front of a rose bush.  I am working on my drawing of humans. . . and fairies and mermaids etc.  I am trying to get better at drawing the human form.  Of course on this blog I would not post drawings of nude people or nude fairies etc. but I do believe that the human body can be portrayed nude but in a respectful, artistic, and non-pornographic way.  I drew this fairy from a statue and the statue is clothed.  I guess I added some curves to this drawing.  I believe that all forms of beauty are acceptable.  Most artists draw fairies extremely thin.   I think that sends a wrong message.  People come in all different shapes and sizes so I think fairies would too.   Therefore this is not a type A body or very thin fairy.  I am not bashing thin people.  Many of us could be healthier if we lost some weight, but it is unrealistic to draw all people in one way.  Again, I think all types of bodies should be celebrated.  Our bodies are a gift from our Creator.  He would want us to accept our bodies and yet try to take care of them as best as we can.  

By the way, this is not a  sponsored post.  None of my posts are sponsored.   I liked the hotel I mentioned and I mentioned it because I also liked the name.   I am naming this fairy Tru.
