Description
Think of this as a really, really, late 4th of July pic, m'kay?I used almost every symbol in the Seal of the United States except the stars. And I skimped on the arrows too, I was too lazy to draw 13 of 'em.
Yay colored pencils! It's been a while sine I have used them. And I didn't feel like wasting my Prismacolors on this so I actually did this with a really cheap pack of Crayola ones. o_o They actually work quite well for vivid colors.
And I also realized I had no good color pencil example for commissions, so I decided to color this with them.
Commission slots still open if you want to check it out here . /shameless self promotion

Beautiful work! I wish I could handle colored pencils as well as this. I especially like the well-shaded sky in the field of blue on the seal.

America totally keeps celebrating his birthday for the entire month of July, so it's not late yet! The colored pencils look really good here!
