New Day New Hope

A little bit late but...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

This is my gift for You ^^. I hope You like it

The drawing shows her gryphon Amanda looking happily as the down starts to shine through the morning clouds in the mountains giving new hope for a better day .

It took me a while to do this but finally it's here - my second colored pencil drawing . This time with a background. I'm kinda happy how it came out, especially the mountain grass. Damn, I love this grass it looks so great xD :laa:

But of course I had to choose the wrong paper for it. The Canson I'm currently using is great for pencil drawings but not for colored pencils. It's to rough. I need a smoother paper for those. Because of this I also failed with the background :/. That cloud next to the beak is really unnecessary but it's hard to erase color pencil so I left it :/. And generally sorry for the crappy blur filter on the sky - believe me, it's better this way ^^'
Of course the drawing is enhanced in PS because my scanner eats all the colors :/.

Color pencils are fun xD
