    How can I draw a flower fairy?
    Community Answer
    Start by drawing a normal fairy, but then base her outfit off of a flower. For example, a bluebell fairy might have a bluebell-shaped skirt. Also, try to use the flower's colors in the fairy. For example, a sunflower fairy might have lots of gold, yellow and brown in her outfit.

    Choose whichever one you think looks easiest, perhaps Method 2 or 4. Make a rough draft or two before you make the final copy so you get some practice. You can even print this article out and trace over the drawings a few times if you want. All in all, I'm sure your teacher doesn't expect your drawing to be perfect.
