"My girl America is just a youth in this world
Her smile is more precious than the sparkle of pearls
And though her age reads she's just a young girl
The age behind her eyes show the pain that she's swirled
Through the hand that's been dealt though it's quiet as kept
The weight that she felt last night when she slept
And as she crept into the dreams of the things of her past
Seems to have grown so fast, way beyond her own class
Though they're right there with her, her brothers and her sisters
A natural born leader even when her peers dis her
My girl, she's at a crossroads, people praying for her
Some are preying on her magazine ads, sex, drama
Smoking marijuana, longer for a father to call her, 'daughter'
She's part of a generation longing for reconciliation
And this future that they're facing and this poison that they're tasting
My girl, I know this love you're chasing"

Why do you make these signatures in such a small canvas? Try working with a bigger canvas so you have room to try and add more.
Not sure what's really going, here's a tip though: don't have anything over the focal.
It distracts the eyes.

yes... I normally work on a much larger canvas... this is me trying to work out different styles and get back into graphics... u see I left for a couple years after like 2 1/2 years of doing gfx, and now... it is hard as HECK to get a style, and make things work and flow again... plus tastes have changed... not that I really care about that, but it makes cnc a different thing... except on this forum... ppl are pretty real...
The reason it is so messy is because its about breaking free of drugs. I wanted it to be chaotic... its hard to see cause the canvas is way too small, but there is someone in the back on the right shooting up, and dude with a m16 on the left... some pills, and boos, and even part of the b/g effects is meth.. and a needle just to bring it all together... lol...
