This my my entry for NYAF contest.^^

This was my first time coloring my full sketch on open canvas, so go easy on me.^^" (If you don't know how I usually color, I just color with color pencil and then blur it on my free software.^^)

Now here's the description for my entry:

My picture is kind of simple, but I do have a meaning for it.^^ I see winter as a time for hopes and dreams to come to life. During winter, I always get that joyous feeling inside of me that makes me feel like I have nothing to worry about. No troubles, no sins, just.. happiess.^^ I also have a wish that I think of every winter. It's kind of like how little kids ask for a certain present from Santa Claus. But my wish is always for everyone to be happy and live with no troubles or worries, even if it's just in those few days. Winter time is a time to dream and wish of whatever or where ever your heart wants to take you.

My picture represents that meaning. The soft colors represents light and no worries. The way she holds her hands close to her heart represents comfort and happiess, while her soft expression shows the way you feel when you close your eyes.. and make that one, hopeful wish and.. finally, the falling snow flakes act as a dream made by all others that floats brightly in the sky, creating what we call winter.

Again, VERY hard to put feelings into words.^^" I hope everyone understands my definition and good luck to everyone who is entering the contest!
