Striking. To me purple and green go perfectly together. You see a lot of that in nature. Please show more of your work.

I heard the song you sang that your Nana loved. You are very talented.

The original drawing was done from a live model pencil on paper. It was then scanned into a computer and the rest was done with Photoshop.
