I drew the sketch on 4 July 2006, a year after making the original version. I finished with the colours two days ago. I did this in order to show people how much I have improved. Sure, I have high-quality materials (e.g. expensive markers), but that is not the reason why I have improved. I have also learned to put more details and add mystifying content to my works. I can notice this, because the girl shows more emotion now than ever before. Not only that, but I'm crazier than before. I still have to work on the faces, but at least it is more interesting than the original "Walking Through the Pavement" piece. She lacked expression, and the colours were flat. I did not add shades or highlights.

She walked, walked, and walked nonstop; it went up to the point where she becomes insane. The strange beings might exist, or she might be a deluded person. You decide. This is art, and each person has his or her own interpretation. It should never be a literal thing.

If you want my opinion, I would say both. People tend to imagine things that have never happened. There are also times when people enjoy using their imagination. That is the reason why books, songs, and cartoons exist today.

Again, it's surreal, because of the dream-like content. Speaking of surreal, Salvador Dali is one my favourite artists. He didn't inspire this picture, but he still inspires me in different ways.

I'm glad I'm improving! I still suck, but it's still progressing.
