In this picture I used colouring pencil and black pen. I used black pen to outline, I think if you outline something it looks cool and feels like it's a real cartoon. I wanted my picture to be colourful because nature is very colourful, it's like a rainbow. My drawing is all about nature, nature is quiet and calm, there's lots to explore, deer, bees, foxes and ants. They're all doing their own jobs separately but together. They work together to look after nature. There's lots of plants growing and the lake is very quiet, it has fish swimming together through it. It would be a lovely place to play or relax and read a book. We need to look after nature, if we don't it won't be calm. it won't be like a rainbow anymore, it will lose its colour. I also included fairies as I love fairies. It's like they are looking after nature, the plants and animals too. I added insects as they all have jobs to do to help. Bees help by creating new flowers, collecting nectar and making honey. I drew animals that look after nature. I love when things are quiet and calm, I find nature is like this, it is quiet and calm.
