Description
This is the artwork on a homemade birthday card for my niece Piper, who's gonna be five in a few days (I SO have to get this in the mail quick! ^^). She likes pink, purple, rainbows, and butterflies, so I think I just about have all the bases covered.While it didn't turn out how I pictured it, it turned out better than I hoped, what with this being the first "real" project I've used my new watercolor pencils on.
(Those watercolor pencils will be teh love for me, once I figure out how to use 'em properly. XD Then watch out! I *may* start submitting stuff in color again.)
Bristol Board paper - Mechanical Pencil - Faber-Castell Pitt Artist Pen - Watercolor pencils - A few Crayola colored pencils thrown in for good measure

Thank you! ^_^
(I'd forgotten I'd used watercolor pencils on this until I read my own artist's comments.

Haha, I actually find that very funny.
I guess artist's comments are both important for the artist as well as the audience

Oh, most definitely!
While I generally know what I used on a given drawing in my gallery, I don't always remember the specifics, especially on the older ones. 
Sometimes I find it amusing to go back and read my comments, just to see if I remember what frame of mind I was in when I typed them, or what was going on in my life at that time. I did that with my journal entries a few days ago, and my thoughts were along the lines of "Wow...where did all this random crap come from...?"
