image description: traditional colored pencil art of a yellow sun with three prongs, the central one striking down the middle towards a sitting gray figure. the figure has bat-like wings, a white sleeveless top on, pink pants, and black shoes. the background is a darker blue. the art is contained within an arch shape besides the figures legs hanging down.

Prismacolor pencils, Strathmore Toned Gray paper. 2 hours.

First non-sketch and first time using colored pencils since I was a kid. If I were to redo this I would try a different sketchbook, but I did learn a lot. For my first big piece though I am satisfied but not quite happy.

I had a lot more planned for this piece but I still have a lot to learn before I am able to execute them. This was supposed to be my gargoyle-esque avatar/sona sitting on the 'ledge' of a glass stained window with fog rolling in. I wanted the impression that the sun was striking down akin to lightning.

I will probably redo this piece many times as I grow.

I happily accept any constructive criticism, thoughts, or advice.
