Away With The Faeries!

I’ve just spent several frustrating hours looking for artwork for my latest project.  I need some slightly gothic type faeries which won’t cost me an arm and a leg!

 

Not striking lucky on my first few forays, I decided to have a go at creating some in Photoshop.  There is a staggering array of brushes which can help do this.  Unfortunately you do need the skills to use them properly which involve many hours practice as I now realise!

 

Back to poking and prodding the dark recesses of the web I’ve now given up and come to the conclusion that I’ll just have to bite the bullet and find a good illustrator.  I feel I’ve wasted the best part of a day!  Grrrr …

    I have also been a wee bit frustrated myself, I'm trying to write a childrens book and have been using the free pictures on word, but they keep altering my margine settings.

    Best of luck, Sue. I've been stymied like that, too. Have a couple of children's stories I might be able to offload if only they had illustrations. Perhaps you could add something about this to your resources section eventually.

    Oh, Sue, just mention wedding and everyone's eyes look like busy cash registers. (My/our elder daugther is getting married this year). Word of mouth, like Jeanne has suggested, is perhaps the economically and only creative way forward.

    I know the feeling well! I did find a very good up and coming young illustrator, unfortunately I don't have her details here with me in Mexico - but, if you are interested, Sue, I do have the phone number of her grandparents and I know they would be pleased to let you have her details. I'll send the number on your private Email address.
