I finally got around to finishing this.My mom loves Zebras so she kinda inspired me to do this. But I absolutely adore zebras too. Gorgeous creatures.<3
Not really much to say about this 'cept its another finished addition to my portfolio. Now I just have to finish that wolf one...
Pastels on velour paper. (Love that stuff)
And off to see Cloverfield. Hope its good!

Oww, I love the simple grassy background. You kept the paper so clean, and the colors didn't blend at all (it does when I work with pastels xD You captured the difference in fur of the baby and the mother very well, I think. That was the first thing that came in my mind when I saw this. And the colors are just beautiful, very strong but that doesn't distract. I'm only not sure about the shape of the heads, they look good, but somehow odd. Buttt since I've no pictures of zebras here, I don't know. Great job anyway. And two questions: How big is the paper you worked on? And a very stupid question: What is a portfolio? I may know it in Dutch, but erm, my English is faaar from perfect.
I feel very ashamed right now.

Thankyou.
The shape of the heads bothered me some too. My Dad tried to help me fix it but it was hard. But the ref was a bit of a problem, the length of the face of the mother zebra (in the back) was actually pretty short.
I'm just calling it my portfolio. I'm trying to get a bunch of my better traditional artwork together so I can start getting commissions. I'd use my portfolio to show people my work, and that way they can see it in person because it always looks better that way.

Oh wow... your portfolio artwork always amazes me. Anatomy and coloring is great, absolutely no crits. *stares in aww* But my, though. What sort of media did you use? I would think coloring a creature that's black and white (and getting the colors to not blend) would be a difficult task, but you pulled it off nicely.

Thankyou Shanree.
This was a variety of chalk pastels on velour paper. Velour paper is a wonder to work pastels on, its fuzzy.

Ahhh... that's definitely different. I've never thought of doing art on a fuzzy texture. You executed it very well, awesome job!

Thanks.
Cloverfield was odd. If it wasn't for the ending I would have really liked it. But the ending bloody murdered it.

Oh my god. Why are you amazing?
This is really really wonderful. I can't believe how real it looks. You're really good with realistic, traditional work. No lie. Their eyes just have so much emotion in them, I just want to hug them both.

Thanks Azul.
I give you permission to hug them. I'll try my best to restrain them if they get a bit bloodthirsty.
