Description So... I did this for my English project on The Great Gatsby. Ummm... the staircase and the flowing moon-to-sea are probably my favorite parts of the whole piece. I'm moderately proud of this.

2 things:
1. It's too big for my scanner, so some of it got cut off.
2. If you want to see the monstrously huge version, please hit the "Download" button. I think. Still new to this new submitting process. Looks nice though.

Materials: Prismacolor pencils, Faber-Castell watercolor pencils
Time: 1.5-2 hours. That's a long time for me.

I totally am in awe over your skill with colors...especially in the beautiful shading of the outfit and the exquisite lighting of the stairs. And the moon/clock is awesome. Seems to me there's symbolism lurking in here that I can't catch having never read the book...I might have to just check it out.

Stellar work, dear.

Thank you, Twitch! Yes, there is definitely some symbolism in there... the book explains it. It's definitely worth the read. I promise.
