Wow nice
I must say this is a nice image. Many of the illustration students I knew in school liked using colored pencil. I never much cared for using them myself, just seemed too fussy and took to long to get the deep color I wanted.
How long did this take? I don't have much to add but I would like to see more of your work.
As for going pro well if you had a portfolio full of images of this quality and can work on a dead line on different subjects. I know of illustration work you could get. No guarantee but the thing to do is get a portfolio of your work out in front of publishing houses ad agencies and those that buy the type of work you like to do.
I went with publishing since textbooks, young fiction paperbacks, and magazines bought the type of work I liked to paint.
But ad agencies actually paid more. The first few jobs I had paid only $200 bucks and it took me a week each. but I get more now and usually I keep the rights to the images and the original so you can sell it again and make more off it. Now if they want the rights to the original I charge much more then for a one time use.
