For this artwork, I decided to draw the face of a young woman covered in different types of flowers with a black background.  The significance behind this piece is to demonstrate how young girls usually struggle with self-image as they enter high school because they face big changes during adolescence.  I chose to draw my younger cousin who is just entering high school.  The flowers represent new beginnings and the blooming of self-confidence.  I am trying to depict a young girl who embraces herself in a society that focuses on appearances and materialistic things.

I started by coloring the face of the subject with Prismacolor pencils, using light strokes so that I could layer the colors and build value. Once I was satisfied with the colors and layering, I colored the entire background with black colored pencil.  I really like how this came out and it was fun experimenting with colored pencil.  Although drawing with colored pencil takes a while to layer and blend, it was a medium I could easily control to produce the outcome I wanted.
