Welcome to my free coloring pages blog!
Today's new drawings are of a Barefoot Fairy who would rather wear boots.

(I posted the first drawing this morning and then drew the next drawing during the day today.)
Aurina the Barefoot Fairy running in the Forest sees a Red-legged Partridge
(New Drawing)
The Barefoot Elves are known for NOT wearing shoes or boots, however, there always seems to be an exception to the rule. Aurina is that exception. She wears boots, albeit soft boots so she can still feel the forest floor quite well. She is a scout Elf or She-Elf who is also an archer. She is very skilled with the bow and arrow. She is wearing only light mostly chain mail armor. Barefoot elves wear light armor in order to be able to move fast through the woods and still have some armor protection.
Aurina is a lovely Elf who would rather be spending time with family and friends, but she knows that all Elves must do their duty. There are sometimes incursions into the forest and those incursions are sometimes from trolls, orcs, and giant spiders.
In this drawing we see Aurina pinning her hair back before she goes on forest patrol. She has very long and lovely hair and it tends to fly behind her as she runs through the forest... but she liked to keep her hair pinned away from her eyes so she can see where she is going and see any possible threats.
Where did Barefoot Elves come from? I will tell you. The below is from a previous post about Barefoot Elves:
Barefoot Elves are descended from the union or marriage of Brimley and Arwina thousands of years ago. Brimley was an early Hobbit... or you could say Protohobbit. Arwina was an Elf Princess. Their children were raised in the Elf community of Rivendell and so they married Elves. Through the years these descendants came to be known as Barefoot Elves. They are incredibly sure-footed and are adept at keeping themselves hidden. The Barefoot Elves tend to have slightly shorter legs than other Elves. Most of the Barefoot Elves eventually moved to Mirkwood and lived among the Wood Elves. So now most of the Barefoot Elves are considered a type of Wood Elf. Barefoot Elves tend to have shorter legs, especially shorter shin bones. In fact, Barefood Elves are generally shorter than other Wood Elves. And yet they are extremely agile and fast runners who can run through the forest almost soundlessly.
In the days of the Orc Wars, the Barefoot Elves were used as scouts. Nowadays the Barefoot Elves are still lookouts near Elf villages. If you have never seen an Elf it is probably because Barefoot Elves spotted you first and sounded the alarm. In our modern times, which is the Age of Men, Elves live underground and inside large trees and they prefer to remain concealed from most mortals. However, the Barefoot Elves tend to live in concealed treehouses in the branches of trees.
The Barefoot Elves wear only light armor and rarely wear shoes. They have tough Hobbit-like feet, yet their feet are not slightly oversized nor furry like a Hobbit's foot. Even at a young age, these Barefoot Elves train with their parents for lookout duty.
Barefoot Elves have retained much of the fun-loving nature of their Hobbit ancestors. They can use a concealment charm so we mortals can not see their pointed ears so they often will go to mortal or human parks and even our towns to live among us. They especially like our parks and playgrounds. We don't see them as anything other than humans. Most of these mortal dwelling Barefoot Elves only stay among us part-time. They like to return to the peace of the Elf Villages.
So, since Barefoot Elves are part Hobbit and part Elf... as you might expect, they have somewhat shorter legs than most Wood Elves and they tend to be shorter than other Elves.
Concerning the second new drawing... A Red-legged Partridge is a mostly ground-dwelling bird of Europe. Red-legged Partridges were introduced to the United Kingdom in the 1700s. They now live in many parts of the UK... especially in the Eastern regions. The Red-legged Partridge is a gamebird and is a member of the pheasant family.
NOTE: To print these drawings just click on the "Fantasy, Myths, and Circus" button up top. Then scroll down to the bottom for the new drawing of Aurina. Below this paragraph is a few drawings of other Barefoot Fairies from previous posts. These older drawings, in printable form, are found further up in the list of printable drawings. The new drawings will actually be at the bottom of the list.
So... these drawings below are from older posts and were drawn a while back.
