Description
Fifth task in theI was to draw my character doing what she would do "in private". The examples given were in the order of, what she would do in her free time, or to relax. I had planed to have around five other people in the picture and her high-mage robe sitting on the ground or hanging off a tree, but I just ran out of time.
Sheila is someone who spends a great deal of time and effort getting people to accept her as an adult, despite appearing to look like a child. However, the problem with that is, despite the decades of life experiences, she does have the body of a child. Therefore, there are occasions eats something sugary or some other stimulant, and is overwhelmed with access energy that she needs burn off. She could either practice something physical and burn that energy off, or do something that she enjoys doing and play with the local children.

Good Points:
- I like how you did Sheila's eye. So angular and slanty. It makes her look mature since she has tons of life experiences but yet she still has a body of a child.
- It's kind of cool how the rest of the kids look like zombies for some reasons. I kind of get this feeling that they're gonna eat someone's brains during their game. XD
Improvements/Suggestions:
- It feels weird when the background has a chalky texture while the characters don't. It's more of a problem for the background character since it just makes it look like the trees are actually just a green screen.
- I think it would look a bit better if the sparkles coming from the fairy would be shinier.
Hope this helps! ^_^

This is absolutely beautiful! I love the detail you put into the background and how clearly you can see the features of even the tiny fairy. The diversity of characters (whether or not they are main characters) is really cool as well. Excellent work!

Oh, she can blend with the local children very well Don't think she enjoys hearing that, but there are times when it's not so bad to pretend life is easier and without worries and the world is more innocent. What race do the other children belong to? I love how you painted the forest and how the bright colours on Sheila make her stand out.

I'm glad you like her. I have done a few other pixies/fairies that you can find in my gallery.

Wow, this is a beautiful picture! I think it's my favorite one of Sheila yet^^ I love the rays of light in the forest and the faeries. The way you did the forest is just beautiful! Are those orc children?

Your art-work amazes me. It has lovely mood of lazzy afternoon. All people featured in it seems to having good time. Plus wow, differen palette makes really the heroine to stand out of the crows. You did graet with textures in background, your forest/part appears raelistic - the level of detail is perfect.
Please tell me if due to some missunderstanding, this is your task six "Enjoyment" piece? So therefore we'll be waiting for "In private" theme?

Nah, this is the "In private" picture. There are very few people that know this is where she disappears to. She spent a lot of time traveling with the military and when going to someplace new she would spend a lot of time trying to convince people she is an adult. However, every now and then she likes to get away from the military group and just lets the locals believe what they see her as, and spends time pretending to be someone younger. Incidentally, if someone she knew outside of the trusted few, were to see her out playing with the children like this, she would be incredibly embarrassed. This is definitely a side she shows only on rare occasions... like no more than once a week or so...

Are those orc kiddos? Hide and seek is always fun no matter what age you are! Though it is nice for her to be at peace with her condition for a bit.

Indeed, I was attempting to draw Orc children. I think I pushed the "not use to drawing children" to the limit with this one, but you can't play hide and seek with just one person. Yeah, occasions like this really allow her to forget the more complex issues of an adult and just let herself do what feels natural.
