Description Prize for ~Xeik-Katajiri

So this is a gift for Xeik-Katajiri with her character Anastasia. I believe it had to do with donated prizes in *SheWolff 's contest. So I myself am amazed. I love the background, and I decided that since Anastasia is blue, that there should be a lot of blue around in the background. Waaay back there is the ocean, then rolling hills. The only thing I wish turned out better was the valley. But I may just be judgmental. I loved drawing Anastasia, I hope I got her colors and markings right. I think I could have done a lot better with her shading but it turned out alright. I just need more practice with lighter horse colors. I hope you like it ~Xeik-Katajiri! and I hope everyone else does. If you must critic, be nice.
P.S. Probably last CS drawing for awhile.

I love the whole concept of this picture! Beautiful! I see what you mean about the valley, but it's hardly noticeable with all the gorgeous scenery revolving around Anastasia

thank you so much!! Well I will have CS, but it's just I'll be using the other machine that only has Elements, so I guess what I should have said was "Last CS drawing for awhile." I'm so very glad you like this so much Jenny, it means the world to me to have supporters like you! Thank you, thank you, thank you!

That is amazing! Anastasia does, of course, and the light beaming down is so dramatic! It looks like heaven is coming to take her.
