Shhhh... She's Sleeping..

For this piece I made the Background / Rose first using one of PS7 stock brushes and basically coloured it in.. .Then added the bird and lady bug (both of which I repainted over from images off sxc.hu). The fae I added last and put the most effort into. I painted her from scratch using a tutorial I found [link] . I used these two stock images [link] and [link] from *Lisajen-stock for reference.
I know there are a few mistakes, I need more practise. But for a first serious attempt at figure painting I think I did pretty good I'd very much appreciate any tips and comments.

Oh, this one I also did for the fairy Contest *Lisajen-stock is holding..
