Description

A remake of one of my very first ever works, Butterfly Fairy.

One of the exercises in my mentorship group was to take one of our older pieces and point out the composition mistakes, re-draw them roughly and explain how would we make it better.
I chose this year old work because the original had so many flaws, mainly perspective and depth, but also placement and lighting. During those talks I thought it might be worth to go and remake the piece, so here's the result. I'm much happier with it now, the sense of depth has improved greatly, and I managed to avoid the original burnt colors in favor of a much greater range. Also, as was suggested, the whole left side was raised to adjust to the right perspective.
