A Wolf's Paradise by luckylace222

Description

:D WOW. I can't believe I was able to make this. I'm surprised I did htis in only 4 hours too. It felt a lot longer than that. My back hurts....>_< I had to get all my art-kits and open them while working on this thing!

:D I actually really like how this turned out! I haven't done long traditional art for so long, so I'm glad this one turned out okay! :D AND THERE'S BLOO AND KOJI ON THE TOP-RIGHT! Bloo's first picture! YAY!! (Even though you can't see him very well...)

xD This is an art-trade with zender23! She wanted me to draw a wolf! O_O I had to go through so many wolf-tutorials and wolf pictures to get confident on drawing this picture...xD HAHAHHA!

ENJOY! O_e OR ELSE! I DIDN'T HURT MY SMALL BACK FOR NOTHING!! *Swings her hand like an old lady at everyone* XD

I like how this simultaneously captures both the beauty of the forest and also some of its brooding menace lucky. I think it's due to the juxtaposition of colours. Red berries and luscious green leaves on the one hand and grey encroaching shadows in the centre on the other. The eye of the wolf fixed on the observer is pretty menacing too!
The wolf's fur is beautifully rendered, as are the trunks of the trees.
There's a somewhat 'unfinished' feel about certain areas, but overall it works remarkably well nonetheless.
(Reminds me of when I was into painting in watercolours, acrylics and designer's gauche many years ago btw. Here's an example of what I mean http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a205/geoffgee/girlwithdog13jpg-1.jpg )

Thank-you!!! You are a very thorough commenter; it really makes me feel good when people take the time to express what they really see in the picture. It helps me see my art through other people's points of view. 8D

Yes, I believe I added the bright yellow into the background just to take up space, so something about it does seem unfinished. ;I

If you have scans or pictures of your acrylic and watercolor work, you should submit it! I love colors, and anything related to colors, so I would gladly comment and critique them anytime!

garaworshiper on July 14, 2008, 2:35:53 PM

im enjoying this very much ^_^ sorry about your back
this is really cool, did you use pastels on this, cuz thats what it looks like

luckylace222 on July 14, 2008, 11:47:20 PM

^0^ YEP! I used pastels, water-colors, paints, crayons, my ballpoint pen, colored pencil, and a pencil for the rough sketch!! LOL!! ;D Basically everything you could find in an art-set. I wanted this to be a mixed drawing...xD THank_you!!!!!!!

ZeroMidnight on July 14, 2008, 11:22:03 AM

Woah this is great!!! Hard to believe you colored this traditionally. I would have totally screwed it up, trying to mix teh colors. XD And the wolfy looks totally great! *faves*

luckylace222 on July 14, 2008, 11:34:22 AM

xD YEP! It's hard to believe I could do this traditionally too! LOL! :D Photoshop really helped me see the lighting and dark sides of coloring. SO THAT HELPED ME LOTS.

XD -And I don't really worry about making a mistake until I'm actually done with the picture...like...once I made a great picture; but my dog peeded on it....xDXDXDXD
