Christel: Beautiful squirrel. Love the deep, rich colors you used

Thanks everyone for your comments on my drawings.

Well done Kay. It's amazing how much can be conveyed with a silhouette. Very effective.

Joe, good work.

Christel, beautiful squirrel. I love the texture of the branch and the soft fur.

 

[Joy]

This is a 9 x 12 watercolor in a Strathmore Visual Journal. Not great paper, but ok for messing around.

 

[Triduana]

Good strong colours on your ibis, Joy! I really like how you changed the background too.

Both done in a cheap sketchbook
I used a lot of metallic watercolor paints that sadly look wierd on pictures

Critics are always welcome

Nicely done Flowercat. The metalic paints actually give a very interesting effect.

 

[Triduana]

These are lovely Flowercat! I can really see the sparkle on the pigeon. It must really shine! Lovely ibis too. Nice blending of colours and I like the touch of detail in the background.

 

[CaliAnn]

Awesome Flowercat! Both are lovely - but that pigeon really grabs my attention

 

[pcj]

Flowercat - These are really nice. I like them both and I like the sparkle of the metallic paints.
Cheers,
Patricia

 

[joe1It]

Flowercat, Wonderful job for both

 

[Joy]

Flowercat they are fine and the paints give them a unique look.

Hi, I did these. Marmot I tried to correct as much as I could, in drawing it, it reminded me of 1 of my favourite movies, Groundhog Day, maybe he's thinking where my friend Bill is, initially not, but now they are great friends. Maybe, however, I had to wear more. not only proportions and if shading can go or should I still try to learn shading in another way.

Joe: Awesome sketches!
