Kousai

"My beloved, try looking up, because the rain of light is falling, gently wiping away the traces of your tears
Is the flower that we found together blooming this year as well? I'm not sure but I'll grasp your hand, inside the pocket is the world that belongs only to the two of us...

...Radiance overflowed, I'll add on to our page, there's nothing to be thrown away
Towards the memories and wishes coloured in, I'll turn the key, I realized that the things I don't want to lose and don't want to forget are the colours of the rainbow and you"

-"Kousai", lyrics by Shou from alice nine. Translated by [link]

-------------------

Yay, I finished it! ^^ Not to sound pompous or anything... but I think... this is my favorite drawing I've done so far :] Not necessarily technical-wise, but just... overall?

This is actually my submission for 's lyric contest. So, of course, I just HAD to use alice nine's gorgeous, gorgeous lyrics! Especially those two verses. When I first read them, I fell in love with the lyrics and desperately wanted to draw something like this....

So, this is done with colored pencils (my Prismacolors, mostly the Verithins), and I used drawing paper sized about 8 inches by 8 inches (after cropping).
I used reference pictures for getting the anatomy correct and stuff, from 's [link] and [link] so I thank him very much! ^^

The hair, hand, flower, I didn't really use a reference pic for, so really... I apologize, they're not that great looking.

Oh yes, and thank you for all your support on my WIP! I'm sorry, I won't have time to answer to all of your comments until the weekend probably. Although, I am rather confuzzled as to why you all faved the WIP. -_- Do I feel happy? Sad? That WIP got more attention/favs than a lot of my finished drawings... wtf?

-Edit-
I changed the image into a scan. -_- the photo of it was bugging me. Although I still might change it again XD
