  • Question How can I draw a flower fairy? Community Answer Community Answer Start by drawing a normal fairy, but then base her outfit off of a flower. For example, a bluebell fairy might have a bluebell-shaped skirt. Also, try to use the flower's colors in the fairy. For example, a sunflower fairy might have lots of gold, yellow and brown in her outfit. Thanks! We're glad this was helpful. Thank you for your feedback.

  • Question I am making a board game about fairies and my teacher wants me to draw one, but I know I will mess up on one of these. What should I do? Community Answer Community Answer Choose whichever one you think looks easiest, perhaps Method 2 or 4. Make a rough draft or two before you make the final copy so you get some practice. You can even print this article out and trace over the drawings a few times if you want. All in all, I'm sure your teacher doesn't expect your drawing to be perfect. Thanks!
