Description I have just enough time to upload this piece...
This was started on Monday and finished Tuesday because I had no school due to my catching some kind of evil virus/stomach flu. I find it odd that I was able to make something so cheerful, especially when my stomach was KILLING me. XP The sky took forever, I practically killed my hand. Oh, and before I forget, the background's supposed to be simple, and I tried making Wing look more detailed. I've been doing a lot of Wing pictures.

Anyways, I was listening to Kelly Clarkson's "Breakaway" and I wanted to post my favorite part of the song that mostly inspired this picture:

"Grew up in a small town
And when the rain would fall down
I'd just stare out my window
Dreaming of what could be
And if I'd end up happy
I would pray

Trying hard to reach out
But when I tried to speak out
Felt like no one could hear me
Wanted to belong here
But something felt so wrong here
So I'd pray
I could break away

I'll spread my wings and I'll learn how to fly.
I'll do what it takes till I touch the sky.
Make a wish, take a chance,
Make a change, and break away.
Out of the darkness and into the sun.
But I won't forget all the ones that I love.
I'll take a risk, take a chance,
Make a change, and break away"

And then I was also listening to "Look Through My Eyes" and "Keep Your Mind Wide Open" from the "Bridge to Terabithia" movie. I want to post my favorite lyrics to those songs too ^^

"There are things in life you'll learn
In time you'll see
Cause out there somewhere
It's all waiting
If you keep believing
So dont run, Dont hide
It will be all right
You'll see, Trust me
I'll be there watching over you

Just take a look through my eyes
There's a better place
somewhere out there
Just take a look through my eyes
Everything changes
You'll be amazed what you'll find
Take a look through my eyes

There will be times on this journey
All you'll see is darkness
Out there somewhere daylight finds you
If you keep believing"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Have you ever seen the sky
So beautiful, colourful
Wide and wonderful
Have you ever felt the sunshine?
So brilliantly, raining down
Oh, the unity

Have you ever wanted more?
Wanted more?

You’ve got to keep your mind wide open
All the possibilities,
You've got to live with your eyes open
Believe in what you see...

Think of all the days you've wasted
worrying, wonderin’
hopelessly hoping.
Think of all the time ahead
don't hesitate, contemplate. No, it’s not too late"

Lol, this is going to be a long description. Well, I have to go now, and I miss all you guys! Can't wait for the end of finals.

I forgot if I asked this before, but what did you use xD? Like, what kind of colored pencils and pencils? You know, the stuff you used to draw and color this picture.

Mochitora In reply to Zazvat [2008-08-18 17:28:06 +0000 UTC]

I use a mix of crayola and prisma colored pencils. A long time ago I just dumped a bunch of pencils in a plastic bag and I use those XD

The way you used the different styles all together, the way you made it, the way you colored it, ect. I love basically all of it! This is by far, my favorite drawing of yours. I give it five stars out of five

Just a regular #2 pencil and crayola colored pencils.

Did you color wing with the #2 pencil or with the crayola colored pencils?

Mochitora In reply to Neomura [2008-02-23 22:38:55 +0000 UTC]

Oh, but for her markings I use a mix of pencil and black colored pencil

Mochitora In reply to Neomura [2008-02-23 22:36:45 +0000 UTC]

For Wing I colored her using the #2 pencil. Basically anything that is grey, I use regular pencils because I don't have a good grey colored pencil.

PolarisAstrum [2008-01-22 21:32:52 +0000 UTC]

The wings! OMG just look at those wings!(here comes the wings-obcessed-one) They're perfect! Beautiffuly shaped and feathered! Truly these are the best wings I've ever seen from you! You keep getting better and better at them!

And the same goes with the rest of the picture. Awesome shading and feeeling. Wonderful colors too and I love the stylized background. Pretty pose too!

I only have one thing to point out and that's her head, I think her forehead looks a lit too big and too roundish, but really, this is so awesome that I'm really picky to point that out

Fantastic work!

The sky looking like water was kind of purposeful, I also made the clouds look a little bit like waves where Wing is jumping out of them. She lives in my mind, so crazy stuff is allowed to happen XD
