Artist's Comments

Flowers to Stars.

To reach for the stars and suceed,
we need a helping hand.

Edit// If I counted right, I drew this when I was... 14? ^^; Time flies
---------

Colored Pencils (Prismacolor!)
Size: 12x15 inches

Done in art class.
My friend (who sat next to me in art) did a piece too, here: [link]

Credit to [link] for this piece [link] that I sort of referenced.

note: I just realized that the picture is sort of crooked. I took this with a camera since I don't have a scanner. That's why the angle is messed up and the quality isn't very good. Oh well so well!

I think the separate elements in this piece are all good, you are a brilliant technical artist, but together, it looks cluttered... I think it's because it's for an art class? I don't know, all my pieces for art classes tend to look like this too O_o

perhaps you could do a softer merge in between the two different skies? :)

I agree with you said about the cluttered feel and the merging of the skies :) It usually bothers me to have such a sharp dividing line straight down the middle of a picture.
yep, I guess this is what happens in art class in school, especially when you have to draw for a grade. The rule was, you had to first make a collage out of magazines and other pictures and then follow the collage. That was a pain, b/c I'm usally better off using my imagination, but i guess it had to be done. My school art teacher insisted everyone's pieces be very colorful and have a variety of color as well, so I had to add random trinkets and cutouts. He also insisted that you follow the color of the collage exactly, but at the end, I ended up changing the colors anyway.
wow, I typed a lot.
