heh yes you should make a background hun! Just add a hand that the skittles are perhaps sitting upon?

i like skittles. nice shading on them. you should do a skittles wrapper for the bg.

AHHH!! This brings back horrible memories! When we were forced to draw in oil pastel the skittles in front of us in art. Don't get me wrong, I love oil pastel, but we couldn't eat the skittles! They ere glued to a bit of cardboard. And we had to just sit there... and stare at it.... Oh, a good BG I think would be a rainbow, lol, Nice job on the shading, the gleams are cool! n.n
