This is about contrasts, between reality and fantasy, between the idea of fairies as beautiful and the city as gritty.

this caught my eye pretty instantly. its colors are ...well eyecatching. I personally have major adoration for anyone with the slightest bit of talent in drawing.

the composition is interesting with the L shape of the side walk and and dark rectangle area  then the brick with the figure keeping ur eyes on the page but the fairy is incorrect; her legs dont look connected to her body correctly, rather her right leg looks as if its where her belly button ought to be, sticking out at a strange angle...the other leg is better but not by much...it looks too low. the angle the head is at is a little iffy too but this is a difficult pose so you get points for trying =)
