Description
I've been wanting to draw this one for some time and I like the feeling of it.Ten thousand kilometers is a symbolic number here, meaning a great, unmeasurable distance that will lead us to someplace still unknown.
The coyote is named Sol and she is the main character of my mythology recreation project.
Cheers!
Tools: W&N and Derwent watercolors

This is such a nice picture! The concept is really cool, and I love how you did the lighting.

I really like the atmosphere of this artwork!
On the one hand Sol seems lonely and exhausted, but on the other hand it's also calm, a moment of rest and reflection to see how far she has come and how far she has yet to go.
Really, really beautiful work, with so much meaning behind it!
I also think that you did a great job with the colours here.

I am glad you like it
Regarding yellow, I must say it is the opposite for me. I have the (bad) tendency to use yellow as basis for most works where I want to make sunset or sunrise. It's like I am cheating, because shadows are easier to draw at those times. I would love to know how to convey dim light, indirect light and dealing with night time.
Thank you so much for your insight

I know some good watercolour tutorial I can link you to, if you want.
Watercolours are my favourite tools, but I still have a lot to learn myself, so I don't think I can give you too many helpful tips really.
I can just say that you did a wonderful job here with the atmosphere and colours and that I really like this work.
