Atypical Tinkerbell Completed
Original sketch copyright of Jessica Hickman. jessasketch on deviantart. I had a really great time painting this. Line art created in Adobe Illustrator and painting done in Adobe Photoshop using basic brushes. I added a couple of letters in the right wing... "FML" and "FTW". A friend suggested that I do a zombie version of Tinkerbell now.

Illustrator CS5 Testing - Variable Width Pen Tool - Tinkerbell
I have found that this function is so awesome. Gone are the days of "penning" each individual line in a piece of artwork. I cannot believe how this speeds up my work process. If you have the means, I highly recommend Illustrator CS5. Here is an example of line art that I did of Tinkerbell.

Christina Aguilera - Graphite on Illustration Board - WIP
Update*** 4.5 hours in.
Updated with higher quality images.
Work in progress. About 3 hours in. I have been doing so much painting on the computer lately that I needed to take a break and do some traditional art. I am getting sick of being chained to the computer to be able to create something.
One thing that I have switched up in my flow is to not do the eyelashes until I am about ready to wrap up. I tend to put them in too early because I want to see a more finished look, but it has proven to actually make my drawing more difficult because the lashes would smear and fixing it was such a hassle. So I am holding out until the end, even though the picture does not look right to me.
