Description Trying to better learn techniques for watercolor, and discovered simoultaneously the cool beans of using colored pencil along with it.

This was the second one I did. Was going to make a series, but you know how that goes.

This was intended to be just a study, or practice, so I used a photo I found and liked (but can't find again to link! D: )

Oh, hee! I like this one. XD He's got such a great expression. This colored pencil/watercolor thing you've got going on is very neat... I like the effect you've come up with.

Thank you! The expression is primarily due to the photo reference I used, so no kudos to me for how cute it is. The mouth was by far the most fun part of the dog to do, though. And I don't think I'd have gotten any detail at all, really, without the colored pencils...I don't know watercolor well enough.

Just precious! I love the dog's expression, and the cool color palette really works with his fur, I think! :> I had to go back again to find all of the subtle shading, especially around his neck/face, since it was so subtle I didn't even notice it the first time! ^.^ Great job!!

Thanks! Yea, some of the blue in his face was *almost* lost when it dried...very subtle indeed. Shading white is hard anyway. Shading white with watercolor is...well, harder.
