Description

This took FOREVER mang. Ufgklfdbjfb
So I tried drawing this on this awesome cardstock paper that was already slightly colored. I thought it'll end up looking cool BUT IT MADE THINGS WORSE. lesson learned.

This was for an art contest for my Journalism club. (it's quite small). I'm pretty sure I didn't win though because my drawing didn't relate that much to the theme of "The Beginning". It started off as a giant sprout, then I made Alice lean on it, and then I added Wonderland to the background and it just became like that I mean idek.

I really love Alice in Wonderland though. I guess it reached a point where it could be considered as a theme itself. But I do find it kind of sad to see so many ..mature.. versions of Alice. Having her wear suggestive outfits in weird poses and all is just dfkbjfblb. And then her adult costumes too..
And don't forget all those dark game version of Alice! But I kind of like those. But for this picture, I kind of wanted to capture the innocence (or at least the surface innocence) present in the book. As you can see, I. FAILED.

You should check out my grayscale version: [link] It looks so much better, which is a shame considering the large amount I spent coloring with my Polychromos color pencils.

I'll try harder next time.
