How does the chromatic scale differ from the diatonic scale?

Explanation:

The chromatic scale contains all twelve tones inside the standard Western octave. ... A diatonic scale is best understood as one which moves through pitch letter names in sequence, without skipping any letters, applying accidentals to certain pitches so as to create a pattern of whole steps and half steps.

well seeing i am an artist and i actually did a self portrait; i will describe how i painted it.   i used acrylic on a stretch canvas about 4 feet wide by 6 feet tall. i painted myself smiling in a soft pink long dress, white tile floor sitting on a white couch with a table behind and a vase of gorgeous flowers.   i also had a round white hat with a soft pink ribbon through it laying on the floor and on the table behind me was a lit candle. i kept it simple but soft and romantic.
