Description This is, hands down, the best piece I have ever done. My first real background in watercolours and I actually really used the watercolours... and a thanks to =Lyanti for the tip on using watercolours and how not to get waves. Not only that, but there was not one reference used! It was all out of my head I swear.

This piece was donated to the Worlds AIDS Foundation auction where it was then sold to Sheway a quick info sheet can be found here: [link]

About the piece... it's a little bit of a visionary artwork. It's very complicated though, and I couldn't quite grasp the meaning myself and what I wanted from it, yet I knew exactly what I wanted to draw. I know I wanted the wolf and the swans connected in some way, so the wolf is wearing a necklace with a jewel of their feather colour, and the swans are wearing necklaces too.

Criticism is welcome, however I feel that I could not do too much better on this piece alone so please look to help me in the future and not this piece alone.

Medium: Derwent and Prisma coloured pencils with watercolours on Bristol
Time: 21 hours

I'll note you (if I remember) if I ever do a bear piece. I do have a panda piece, but ah, not as good as a grizzly eh? I am planning to do a grizzly piece one day.

Avalik In reply to grygon [2007-12-30 07:07:06 +0000 UTC]

I learned this from the great Lyanti and I shall pass it down from to you:

Put salt into the water you are using.
