TIGER & LILLY_commission

[11x14 - graphite, watercolor, COPIC marker, color pencil on sketchbook paper + PS/CS3]

This was one of the most uncooperative sheets of paper I've had to paint on. It was 'thirsty' to the point frustration -  there was almost no way to manipulate the watercolor as I normally would. Definitely an exercise in patience.

A ton of fun to do, a lot of learning, a lot of, "Oh, sh*t. Well, how do I recover from that?" I was gritting my teeth the entire time. I think may have even bitten the side of my mouth.

Anyway, there it is.

Everyone's saying different things to me.
Everyone's taking everything they can.
There doesn't seem to be anybody else who agrees with me.
