Description Ugh I was changing the background so many times! ¬.¬ But it was a good practice! 
For those people who ask me all the time what do I use to draw
Well mainly I use Paint tool SAI, and then a bit of photoshop. This one was 50/50, but still painting with Photoshop is a bit a pain in the ass!.... I just cannot get the brush flow that I want , maybe it is just me... 

This was inspired somehow by Alice in wonderland, and listening to the american horror story's new teasers song. The painting itself doesn't really show any of that. But it was just the feeling overall that I got. You know my drawings are all mostly spontaneous, somehow when ever I plan to draw something it never turns out as good... Even thought it seems like that is what good artist do, draw many thumbnails and sketches before deciding which to draw and do research and stuff. But oh it seems too much of things to do... I like it simple.
But I am going back to uni soon and study illustration, somehow I am very skeptical about going to uni, but lets try and see, and that's were they always require a lot of sketches and research before doing anything. But really is that that necessary to be a good artist??

Most of my drawings are spontaneous as well, especially when I'm overcome with certain emotions and I just start drawing without a specific idea in mind, those are usually very simple and sketchy but they are by far the most meaningful drawings I've made.
So personally I find this very beautiful no matter how simplistic it may seem.
Actually the simplicity of it IS what I like most!!

(I'm not a professional artist this is just an opinion so pay me no mind...Also excuse my English, it's not my main language)

Ah yes I love simplicity, for me art is a relaxing activity.
The only way it is not, is when I am made to draw something .
Unfortunately if i want to become an illustrator that is what I might end up doing to make a living .

As usual, I like your style~  

Even you say that you like it simple, it doesn't mean it is not arts~

Even for me (warning: I'm not a professional), I sometimes do random arts drawing/painting. Even for me, sketching or some "skel/bone" sketch is meddlesome for me but not doing it sometimes can disturb the good arts we wanna do.
However, it doesn't mean we can't draw good art without it.

But hey~ yours turn out to be nice and beautiful.   

Keep up the good work!

It looks nice! The dark values do give that mysterious look from Alice. But maybe that's not special for you lol.

This is gunna sound hypocritical since you're a better painter than me but... I think you need to improve your drawing skills. Drawing is the rough stage and anatomy and perspective etc skills are what's used here. Working on drawing and from imagination should help you in this regard.

Hei, criticism is always good! I do agree I am lazy on practicing basic things. ._. but then again I still do, bit by bit.
