Description ...I need to read a book on 'how to name art suitably'

Personal Meaning

I have been working on this for a long time, I have thought about so many thing's at so many different times whilst drawing it and now that it's done It's evolved into something I simply can't classify. But from the time I started this picture, to the time I finished, this picture has always been about appreciating things, things that captivate you and make you truly realize you are living.
It's an expression of the greatness I feel when I am around the people I adore, that feeling of euphoria that comes when I'm giggling with my friends, even if the thing that made me laugh isn't actually funny at all . In a way, moments like there are some positive form of escape, but it's worth it if your feeling glum!
I like happiness, even if it is just a reaction to a bunch of chemicals shooting through your brain and making you irrational and giddy!

Technical

I am unfortunately accustomed to analysing things a little too much... oh well?

This picture, is part of a series of three (or five if I learn to pencil faster), featuring my fursona, Kiki.
The planet my characters live on, is quite similar to earth, but many environmental things are different, as seen in this picture, the day sky is normally a blue-to-indigo kind of gradient.
I sketched this with my trusty 0.5 mech pencil, thin lined with black biro, coloured with crayola pencils, White out & White gel pen for flowers, stars and highlights, blue & red & purple gel pens for re-lining and glitter and glitter paint for extra starts (not really visible in scan).

The scan is really terrible, I'm so sorry! I might try scanning it at some point on my mum's blob of everything. I touched it up a bit in photoshop though, so the colours are reasonably close the the original.

Thank you! I really love drawing fur and hair, it's much easier then big huge sections of flat colour @3@
