Description Hah, I call it done My very first painting in acrylics that didn't end up being a total epic fail and I actually like ;o;

Size still is around 80cm x 60cm on rough linen canvas.

Credits go to who was so sweet to let me use one of their photos [link] as reference and inspiration *I was very tempted to copy it 1:1 but then decided not to xD*, thank you so much :'D

Took roughly over 90h to complete I'd say spending 10 days on it.

this is amazing and so much better than my first wolf in acrylics lol did you use a fan brush for the fur? Im having a hard time learning how to do fur.

thank you^^ yeah, acrylics are a beast to handle ;o; I used a "cat-tongue" brush and a hard, round one, mainly the hard, round one though, it makes nicer strokes I find

I love the fur texture on this piece! He looks almost soft enough to touch. Definitely worth the time and energy put into it; it's absolutely gorgeous.

Es sieht ein bisschen aus, als wΓΌrde er die Augen so gruselig nach oben verdrehen, weil die Pupillen so weit oben sind Ansonsten kennst du ja meine Meinung ^o^

Thank you I have heavy body from liquitex and sprayed a few drops of water on my color blobs to make it a bit more liquid but not too much as my canvas didn't like watered down paint xD

*lach* es war ein echter kampf xD mal zu hell, dann wieder zu dunkel, hin und her o.O" erst gegen ende hab ich überhaupt mal gecheckt, wie man diese pinsel richtig einsetzt ;D das nÀchste ist schon in planung weil irgendwie macht das total spaß-und man hat danach sogar farbe in den haaren :'D

Das ist gerade Anfangs fast immer so. Aber naja ... durch so einen "Crashkurs" lernt man halt am Besten und Schnellsten, wie man mit Acryl und Pinseln umgeht.
Freut mich sehr, daß es dir so viel Spaß gemacht hat, daß du mehr davon machen willst.

thank you I might be so rude and copy one of bateman's paintings to learn his compositions, technique and use of color xD *just for personal use that is and for practice ;D*

Thank you I still have to learn how to really use those colors, especially to make the bouncy canvas work properly xD
