One week of 1 and a half hour sessions.

I actually really like how this came out, I could have used more artistic theory but overall comparing this to my previous acrylics I feel like I did pretty well with this one. Acrylics aren't so bad after all.

Made this because I've been wanting to become better at drawing smoky quartz, they have a really interesting design, I personally haven't seen anything else like it.

Additionally, the theme music is very happy and upbeat which I enjoy.

Fun story to go along with this picture, I was working on it in a local park and a group of young kids came over and looked at my art for a while, bombarding me with undeserved compliments. Over time more and more kids came and some of them started using my supplies so I got all my things and moved to a hidden spot in the woods and continued working.

What do you think? I also applied a slight bloom effect to help blur the strict pattern of the colored pencils used on top of acrylics, would this piece look better without?
