Description
A dolphin and a new born calf travel accross the coral reef to rejoin their pod ^^ Worked really hard on this one, even if I did go over the top with the bubbles, and I'm really pleased how it turned out
I wanted to do a piece in the style of Christian Lassen ! I love how he has that sort of cartoonish but still realistic look to his paintings! Referance most of his dolphin pics for the adult dolphin ... the calf I had a go at on my own ... which is probably why it's so difformed looking
:: Bottlenose Dolphins - Tursiops truncatus
:: Watercolour Paints/Pencils and a White Gel Pen
:: Approximately 4 Hours
:: Greatly inspired by Christian Lassen !

Lol if you look closely at his art, most of the dolphins have slightly shorter beaks than you might expect. I think I must've subconciously exadurated this here XD
I did it a while ago so can't remember exactly what I was intending to do, but I do remember getting very fustrated with the positions and proportions of the two dolphins

I'm loving your use of color! This looks like something you'd see on a mug in Hawaii or something like that.
Gorgeous work

This is really lovely. The details are lovely, and the colouring of each subject is really good as well. I can tell you put a lot of thought into this. The expressions on the Dolphins faces are so lovely and you have captured their true nature with this piece. I also really like the tonal shading of the Dolphins.
