Description
Ok, well I never have good titles ^^' This is watercolor with ink drawing.Thank you `snowmask For the super helpful watercolor tips!
I'm super proud of this! It's my first real legit try at watercolors! Plus drawing things straight from references is awfully hard when you aren't making the bubble forms (for me at least)
. But darn It turned out alright :3the textures were made with splatter and alcohol
I'm working on the pouring technique too! It's just taking a little longer to get used to
the ref I used is a book I own about wolf life. very interesting book! It's called "The Spirit of the Wolf" Wolves are much smarter than you'd think! very fun book
Edit: OLD OLD OLD.

How did you use alcohol in this? I love the splatters!

thanks! when you put alcohol on wet watercolors, it pushes the paint away from the center those blotches above the wolf and in other areas were from alcohol pushing the watercolor paint away

That's interesting.. I've always used salt for that, I didn't know alcohol would do the same thing...

alcohol and salt make different textures XD it really depends on what you're going for

Watercolors are so beautiful when done right. I do them wrong, so I have all the most pleasure in enjoying art like this :]]

Very beautiful work! I like that wolf is transparent and the way it is being faded out to the bottom of the picture is really well made. What I dont really understand whether the small wolf at the left corner is a part of he watermark or part of the picture. For me it looks like a watermark, because it stands out the same way as letters so. Yet Im not sure since the big jumping wolf seems to look at the small one. It makes the picture a bit confusing.

I'm sorry, but this is going to be a bit shorter than I had originally planned - I wasn't expecting to come back this evening with 24 pieces to comment on!
First of all, I love the colours. You've chosen them perfectly to fit your title (or your title perfectly to fit your colours

our teacher wants us to do an accordion book. and she really liked the story i wrote for my zine so she wanted me to do another story. so i am illustrating that wolf story that i wrote for my high school eng class. you remember that right?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Wait... if she liked how come she made you do another story?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
heh? no she liked the zine. the bathtub kid playin with his toys. but she thinks this plan is "generic." something yatta yatta about how wolf and spiritual is a givin and how everybody does it. she didn't even bother realizing the way i did it was different than most stuff on the internet. (she pulled up a typical wolf howling at moon image as an example, but it looked nothing like what i had on the paper in front of her) and she didn't even bother reading the damn story before telling me just, "oh wolves and spiritual, mm yah...." she didn't care that my accordion book wasn't just gonna be a jumble of them either but illustrated. seriously. the story is a bit deeper than just "wolves and spiritual are like peanut butter and jelly." so whatever. she's rainin on my parade a bit but screw it. I'll do them my way in my own time and make something else for the project :/ I haven't liked the class from the beginning anyway lol didn't think that would change at the last minute. I especially hated the stupid envelope project. HATED IT. i hated half the shit she made us do :/ I only liked multiples, and maybe the tissue paper project. but everything else made me really mad and I hate making purely formal abstract art. It drives me into a killing frenzy :/
*rant over*

What was the envelope thing? I don't rememberit at all. Oh yeah and eventually I want the newspaper thing cos I think it would be cool to get it framed. Obviously I don't have moolah for it now, but if I get my own place I wanna frame it and put it up.

For the longest time I just that it said "Orly", like it was the name of the owl or something. Now I realize that it's "oh really?"
