I worked so hard on this -.- It took me a full day worth or work to do. I decided to try doing the lines in only pencil for the first time. I LOVE my hb pencils but it was alot of hard work I had to sketch then draw then erase every line to redraw it again smooth then I added in sooo many flowers which just get messed up during the color xD Lucky my scanner and printer co-operated so I was able to take the finished pencil and print out a copy to color otherwise I think I'd have killed it during the color xD lol the color is mostly prismacolor pencil's and copic marker with the backround sky done in photoshop.

hmm for the grass I hope it looks ok, the whole time I was thinking of my grade school art teacher Mr. c-check (i have no idea how to spell his name but this is what it sounded like) he was a mean old man who yelled alot but I'll never forget the time I had to do a painting, I must have been 8. It was a painting of a house with grass and the sun. He asked me, is this what the sun really looks like? I thought he was being difficult and then he told me to add black in the grass which sounded so stupid at the time. After I grew up I looked back and realized what he was trying to have a child see and felt alittle amazed that he would even attempt to teach me that. I'll never forget it now.
