Draw This Again Contest: Hanging the Innocent

Here's my submission to the Draw This Again contest. I altered the template to fit my drawing, but I don't know if this is ok. Anyways, the first entry was drawn a year ago when I first started DA with pencil colors and the new one was drawn this month (September, 2012). I thought I made pretty good improvement in a year so I'm quite satisfied ^_^

I drew this picture to show bullying. When you're bullied you feel like life is slowly draining away, hence the girl being hung. The reason her hair or dress or any other thing isn't falling to gravity is because she feels that her life is surreal. "Why am I being bullied for not doing anything?" Her whole predicament seems so unrealistic to her.
