Description
Just a little something trying a couple of different things! not too sure on the graphite details, might of looked better with coloured pencil? I'm tempted to tryout coloured lead instead to get the coloured thin lines without it looking too jarring with the graphite? Might of been better to add some texture to the body too! Ah well better learnt for next time
This is my little kitsune grown up!: fav.me/datousp
I guess he's a lemon and lime farmer? I guess the magic thing didn't work out

A short critique:
This piece is really well done! While I personally have never used watercolor I have great respect for people who are good at it - next to scratchboard it's one of the most unforgiving mediums there is. I love the texture of the fur, and the way you've colored this!
This is also one of the main things you could improve. Dare to go darker! This will make the drawing pop out even more. Don't be afraid of using dark colors! An B&W example here:
The other thing you could improve on is the cropping of the drawing. Right now most of the kitsune is cut away. While this is completely OK, I would rather have the entire head, and not cut off the tips of the ears.
But, as said in the beginning, it's a stunning piece!

Thank you so much!!
I totally agree with everything you've said, This is really helpful!
The original is a little more vibrant, I figured trying to lighten the values would maybe even out places where maybe it's patchy/noticeably dark but I totally agree. It may also be due to the watercolour that i use dries very light so alot layers have to be put on but too much watercolour can over work the piece or just damage the page so I agree watercolour isn't the easiest to work with! but i will never blame the watercolours I just need to learn how to make the watercolour seem darker!
The original drawing is like that but now that you point it out it does look over cropped! I'll keep in mind to keep the main focus in the page to avoid this in the future!
Thank you so much for the critique, and I'm glad you like it!
