Watercolors

Here's a little Red Fox I've been working on in my Scientific Illustration class in school. I was hoping to learn how to be more comfortable with watercolors, under the guidance of the amazing Peggy Macnamara (my hero!). I think I'm finally getting the hang of it...!

Anyway, here he is in all his fluffy glory:

A closeup...

I think he still needs a few finishing touches, but I'm very happy with how this exploration with watercolor is going! :) I love his cocky little smirk, too... He reminds me of Mr. Fox (in Fantastic Mr. Fox, the cutest movie ever).

Tonight, I'm going to start on a big painting (22x30!) of this Fu Lion/Fu Dog I've been sketching all day. I'm really excited... I've been wanting to draw one for a long time now and finally worked it out the way I want. Let's hope he turns out well...!
