Description Hey there!!
Hello zagiir ! I got something for you  
You are such a nice and wonderful person, and without having known you, I wouldn't have had the opportunity to meet what are now my best friends (and this is no joke!!).
I really appreciated every second with you; discord chats, messages and even comments! Your positivity is so overwhelming, even when you go through difficult times, you go the extra step to make people feel appreciated, and I don't think I could be capable of that like you are. 
when I discovered you I didn't even know there was such a community of people, but then I started knowing users like Nihalla and Saph and I got into this awesome circle of incredible people(and valkoor!! thank him for this awesome drawing as well!). It's only fair for you to know that, and to know how grateful I am ;w;

Now going to the artwork!!
I wanted to get something super nice! not only for how awesome she is, but also because I've worked on something of this kind in the past, and another gift is the best way to see the progress made(Zagiir Blossom!!  is the old one!).
I've tried various things!! It's unfortunate that I begun learning composition (check Arcticfox98 ! he is AWESOME and very experienced o: ) after I started this drawing :/
I'm happy to see some progress in some things! like the water actually reflects the colors of the sky(always in comparison with the previous gift for her!) and there is "proper" lighting. The trees don't look perfect by any means, but they are surely an improvement (I started using some new brushes!).
Taking about brushes, to make the flowers I made my own brush(here Image0 (4) )! even though I happened to not use it in the end but for small things. I would have made the flowers myself, but I wanted to focus on different details, hopefully zagiir won't mind ;w;
for the expression I need to thank Saph (check her out at Deviant-Soulmates !!!) for helping me out! that eye change is been woah

I will also take this opportunity to thank all the people I've known along the way! this experience in the drawing community is been a roller coaster, and I couldn't be happier for that <3

For more technicalities I'll also put some of the details of the previous gift for her in comparison:

It took 8 hours in total to finish! 7 hours and 22 minutes for the drawing, and 42 for the changes, edits and mini details
(the previous one was 4 hours, but it was also smaller in terms of size and layers)
talking about layers it has around 45 layers(I'm pretty insecure about changing things D: )

it was made with procreate for the iPad! 

after all this long description, the only thing left to say is THANK YOU!! keep being awesome <3

This has been making me so happy every time I see this in my notification box aaasjkhdskj
you did an OUTSTANDING job on this like holy crap?? the overall mood and setting is so peaceful, and so zag, it's perfect.
I love how you did the lineless shading! That stuff is hard, and you nailed it! It's so warm and makes me want to be there for real <33
all of the details are so well done as well and makes the whole piece whole.
aahksdjhf her expression kills me I love it so much <33 
and the way you did her flowers and the flowers in the foreground are my favorite <3 I love that dark pink color!
Those TREES!! okay I have a hard time with trees, and know how painful they are and LOOK AT YOU JUST MAKING THEM PERFECT AAKJDSFHSDJF

I also really adore the particles and flower petals, makes it look like a slight breeze brushing past her and makes it all the more perfect <3

Thank you so so much for doing this for me! It was a very pleasant surprise, and brightened up my recent days

aaaaaaasasdasdgfdg I'm so glad to hear you like it!! I was afraid the flowers would be too small and such, so to know that you like them makes me feel great! you never have to write such wonderful texts but you do it anyways and every time, and that's something so rare aaaa
you make people want to draw more ;w;

BTW this is one of my most appreciated drawings! I mean, I'm not surprised, you are in it!
