Exploration

One of my entries to NotSoDainty's contest!
This was so painful but a very very fun experience (pairoe's coloring is so complex and beautiful...)
The background was super loosely referenced off of this gorgeous piece: wallpaperbeta.com/wallpaper/an…

ANYWAYS I've been wanting to enter this contest since it first came up but school was killing me
I finished AP Art thursday and yesterday was senior skip day so I've been working on art like crazy, my hands and eyes hurt so bad... but so worth it. I didn't wanna stress while at the fair tomorrow so I worked hardcore on this. :')

It honestly was a good learning experience, and hopefully I can keep doing pieces like this!!
