you didn't actually ask for an explanation BUT you're getting one anyway. it's when an object (or limb or whatever) is projected towards the viewer, so like a pointed finger or outstretched arm. it can be a real pain to draw bc all the proportions are different and if it doesn't look like it's actually being projected forwards it can look really strange. so with the pixie it's the forearm on the right as you're looking at it that I had issues with (and the thigh on the same side which I had more luck with)
anyway anyway thank u for your kind words o enemy (as always)!! although I have concerns about your taste in pixies. he probably bites and also reaps souls.

That walking stick is SO elegant! Need me one of those for my old age
The pixie looks cheeky as ever so great job with capturing that expression! :3
you're so kind :3 for the walking stick I used the one from the film as a reference which is described as looking like a ram, but I like to think it's a thestral even though it predates the film thestrals
and thank you! i was thinking he looks utterly diabolical but cheeky is much better

I know it’s hard to appreciate the art you yourself creates, but I think it all looks amazing and better than anything I could do with pencil and paper. No drawing skills here. I wouldn’t have thought the pixie was not to your satisfaction if you hadn’t said anything - it could be art in a scary children’s book!
thank you! i think my issue is that I always imagine things coming out very differently. often i'll come back to look at things later and when I have fresh eyes and less frustration from the mistakes i like the result a lot better. but yes, really appreciate the comments
(and absolutely with you on the scary children's book, emphasis on the scary)

Excuse you and the magic that is your fine liner line work. I am always so impressed by the depth and texture you create with simple strokes over and over and over again. The way you capture the knots and tangled carving of the wood in that cane is amaaaaaaaazing. I keep looking at those pixie hands and have hand envy
would have LOVED to see your version of wings but also...I get it
maybe we can pretend some angelic character
somewhere ripped them off and now this pixie is out for vengeance.
thank u, I am excused. and thanK! i actually really enjoyed doing the wood texture with the pen, it's perfectly suited to that technique (at least the way I like to do it). and the pixie hands were very stressful. sometimes I do the pencil drawing and it goes okay and then feel like I'm taking my life in my hands when I pick up the pen.
maybe I will add wings to the pixie later just because I don't want to leave it unfinished. or actually yes. perfect. it's canon.

The Cornish pixie BLEW me away, it’s perfection and I for real cannot stop staring at it. I think I’d like to adopt them, tysm.
thank you! hands can be so difficult
especially when holding things (hence why I did not attempt much more than a vague outline for these) but it's very satisfying when they go right. I'm a big fan of doing art with fineliners, even though ink is very unforgiving x_x
keep the pixie!!! your very own sleep paralysis demon for the low low price of free

thaaaank you, I'm v glad you appreciate the knobbles and textures. also, I understand. this one might be worse than the time I drew the clown boggart from PoA

pls share your skillz and abilities. kthx.
thank you!! I really enjoy shading things for some reason which kind of helps with with depth and even a bit with the detail stuff too (I do also run the risk of going too detailed but with all the prompts for seektober the time limit kind of prevents that)
from now on maybe I won't mention the things I left out, on the off chance no one notices
