Abundant Skies

Wow...this piece has been a long time coming! I started it while I was working on "How Can You Trust." So it's been a while. I made myself finish since you guys have not seen art from me in super long, and I don't even have that much up!

I've worked super hard on this, and I'm really proud of it. I know there are a few anatomical errors, but that's okay. Overall, I love it. I'm super pleased with the shading, and the pose. I also actually like my background!! I was going for a sort of wide-angle feel, which is why at the edges things get distorted. (Download for full detail)

This piece was completely and totally inspired by the song "Learning to Breathe" by Switchfoot. The chorus goes like this:

I'm learning to breathe
I'm learning to crawl
I'm finding that you and you alone can break my fall
I'm living again
Awake and alive
I'm dying to breathe in these abundant skies

The whole song for those who care: [link]
