Artwork: Garden Nymph

So I quite like drawing plant-life, including flowers with vividly-coloured, well-defined petals and long stamen. That... that probably isn't indicative of something, is it? Nah, can't be.

This drawing is of a young, possible bohemian lady, sitting down in a colourful garden setting.

A young elf with brown hair tied up behind her in a loose chignon sits on a stone step in a garden. She is wearing a large lily-like flower in her hair and is dressed in a dark-grey corset with a maroon brassiere. She's wearing a pleated brown skirt with a second pink underskirt, stiped tights, yellow socks and boots. One of her calves is bandaged. Her arms are bare, but for a golden torc on her right arm, and a pair of fingerless leather gloves. On the stone step beside her is a pillar with vines wrapped around it and a stone bowl with a large purple flower growing in it. A creak runs through the meadow nearby, with several blue and purple flowers growing on the far bank.
Just sitting down to relax for a moment in the garden.

No horns, wings or other add-ons, though I did point the ears like I always seem compelled to do. It's not that I'm pro-elf, so much as I don't like rounded ears so much—which is probably indicative of me not having found the right formula for drawing ears in a satisfying way, and so 'evading' the problem by transforming them into something not-so-human.
