Description If I counted right, I drew this when I was... 14? Time flies --> Drawn Freshman year in high school

Flowers to Stars.
To reach for the stars and suceed,
we need a helping hand.
---------

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!

Verry good. You should try tu use mix media, I think you could get some great result. Personnally I use (Non on this gallery, but on my other one) a technic with achrilic paint, colored pencils and airbrush. It gives great results. I suggest you to try!

Wow! I love how you drew the 2 separate worlds! Really amazing.

I was gonna say that you need to watch the proportions of the limbs. But then I read the description and it said you were only 14 when you drew this. So never mind. It's awesome!

Wow, I love how you colored the water, and the clouds a really great too. It's an awesome piece of surreal artwork. If I could change one thing, though, it would probably be the sea at the bottom of the picture... I would have either split it down the middle to match the rest of the picture, or blended the orange together to create a smooth transition.

Oh my gosh...I was literally just writing a concept for my next piece that's along the same lines as this; that you DO need someone to help you along the way in life.

Wow..the color in this is BREATHTAKING. I especially love the details on her dress and the converging of the light and dark sides. Wonderful job. ;]
