Speed drawing...
Grace,
Well I don't know if they are fast... I am creating them on the computer, but my style is what my first fashion illustration instructor called whimsical. What I mean is that I am a master at making your eye and and brain think you see more detail than is actually there! I put the basic stuff in and your brain fills in the rest! Even when I don't work on the computer but work with my pencil, and paints I just just the right amount of detail to give you the idea that there is more detail in the pic.
These drawings are done in Adobe Illustrator, which to many people is complicated and hard to learn. It is a Vector based drawing, so instead of little tiny dots making up the picture it is a mathematical drawing that can be blown up as big as the sears tower if you wanted to, without loosing any clarity. Learning Illustrator was one of those nightmares that after it is over you are left absolutely grateful for the experience. I was in college, and took a class on the program... My computer did not have enough memory to run the program,
so I ended up doing each assignment 5 times. The result was that I learned the program inside and out! Well that has nothing to do with the speed of things, but just a cool story! Illustrator is now my favorite computer program! I have actually been asked by graphic artist with 15 years more experience than me to teach them Illustraror! 
What an honor!
Well I have another one in the works in my head... She is going to be fun yet challenging! The vision is still clarifying itself! For me a painting is kind of like manifesting stuff, you have just have faith and jump into it. The vision clarifies as I draw! I do love my faeries though! Hehehee!
Thanks for the compliments on my work! I am seeing some posters that these will evolve into. My dad is going to help me market them, they will be coming up very soon, and he will help me put it all together and for sell on the web, and then he will market them to stores also! I am thinking this is what you have been seeing all along!

And your style is exquisitely unique as well! Yes! Whimsical is the PERFECT description!!!These Faeries are DELIGHTFUL, Honey!!! 
But wait... I am astonished that you do these with your computer!!! I can tell you right now that donkees dressed in pink tutus would fly before I could do anything like this with a computer!!! 
You have some VERY CREATIVE Powerful Feminine Energy going on, my Lovie, (in more ways than one, Darling Girl!
