Art, comics, graphic design and web development by the artist: Matthew Taylor

This is just a quick painting of a fairy from my mind. I wanted to try out some sepia ink that I had bought and I needed something to draw.
I made an effort to put in as much anatomy as I could and even though it's not exactly right I think it has really improved the picture.

'Color is crucial in painting, but it is very hard to talk about. There is almost nothing you can say that holds up as a generalization, because it depends on too many factors: size, modulation, the rest of the field, a certain consistency that color has with forms, and the statement you're trying to make.' - Roy Lichtenstein
