Practical Magic!

Very well put together with folklore, culture and making art all enjoyable. Great to start off the basics of proportion, followed through with wings and poses. I found the gridwork really helpful to working out wings. Shelby is clear and simple in her directions throughout her process, giving great tips on references and ideas to use. I am looking forward to creating my own 'magic'!
