With a following of over 130,000 on Facebook and more than a million on Instagram, Kristina Webb and her mixed media sketches are worth all the hype.
The 18-year-old artist from New Zealand mixes her accurately crafted sketches of mostly women figures -- very princess and fairy looking -- with whatever she fancies for the day to create her creative mixed media sketches. Sometimes, Webb will use flowers to create a dress, while other times it will be with sharpener leftovers. Her best pieces are the ones that incorporate her figurines in nature -- in one piece she has a small figure swinging on a small branch.
Even though the artwork is very young and girly, you can see her passion and skill shine through.
