This began as a watercolor-on-bristol test and quickly evolved into much more. I worked all through the night to finish this - I couldn't stop myself!
A young wolf stops for a drink along his long journey home. He's homesick =*( 9"x12" watercolor and colored pencil on bristol. The original for sale - send a note with an offer.
Wow, this is fabulous! I really admire your skill with texture, as seen on his amazingly realistic fur. The sharp detail of his fur is a wonderful contrast to the soft, painterly background. The combination is beautiful and striking- Very well done! Everything about this looks awesome. I especially like the life in his eyes and, as I said, the awesome fur texture.
Just grab a Crayola watercolor set (That's what I used for this, believe it or not!) from a local craft store and go crazy! If you're having trouble with buckling/warping, try some heavier paper and/or taping the paper to a board or something. Watercolor paper works pretty good too.
Some people use a lot of water, some just a little, some work fast, some work slow - watercolor is just so versatile that you have to find your own little style that's fun for you! I beg you keep trying and you'll get better in no time. ^^
Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it. Each day we will feature 5 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article.
In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you the news article as well as check out the individual pieces.

We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.

Some people have issues.... I have a damned subscription
The water was a learning experience, too - now I know what to do and not do next time.
