Description Challenge to myself: use different shades of only one color.
I cheated, because I used a purple marker as well as the blue stuff. Damn dirty cheater I am!!!

Talk about a long time, I worked on this guy a little every day for at least four months!!!
This is colored pencil over marker on smooth bristol.

While I was first drawing this out with a plain pencil I kept hearing on the radio linkin park's "the catalyst". every time I would change the station they would play that song. I heard it like three or four times in an hour. These lines kept getting my attention: "a thousand suns" and "where oceans bleed into the sky". I thought they were intersting images so into the drawing I added two more suns(one became a moon) and a sea in the background. I tried to make the sea reflected in the suns, but meh. Doesn't look that way. Also the baboon in the moon is supposed to be a lion.

I quite like this picture, but I think its got too much of a cartoony look.
I love the expression its really innocent and cute and the shades are absolutely amazing. And the drawing in the little bubble. So cute. Aww. <3

There is nothing wrong with cartooney, I am just saying it was something that caught my eye as soon as I looked at it. But I quite like the image.

Oh cool, this is really something to be proud of! I like the shades of blue used entirely throughout the picture, it really goes well with this. Thanks for sharing!

rymslm [2011-07-09 12:42:30 +0000 UTC]

great use of one colours different shades
i like how the mane(thats what the lions hair is called right?) is going with the flow of the entire image and how the moon(or is that the sun) is sort of balancing everthung else out with the lighter colours on it

Rukis-vWalde [2011-06-23 22:41:12 +0000 UTC]

This is really cute and somewhat i feel rather nostalgic by looking at it, maybe because of the blue colors :3

I'd wouldn't have noticed the lion on the moon, if you didn't talk about it xDu Even though I think the main lion alone on the picture is just perfect enough :3
