Description PLEASE GET OFF YOUR CHAIR AND TAKE 2 STEPS BACK BEFORE COMMENTING! It may help you give a better critique...thank you ^_^

Anyways, this is a painting I'm working on....or at least part of it....its over 2 feet wide and 1 1/2 tall, on velvet scrap board. I've been wanting to see if I've improved on painting fur, so I tried this, something a little more seasonal....but the photo killed it Xx I don't know how to get a perfect shot of this thing!....maybe when it's done... SOON! Also, I'm going to start on the road rover pics soon. Probably tomorrow since my research for my research paper is done ^_^ MORE TIME AND MORE WORK AGAIN! YAY!
ahem....and please do take 2 steps back before viewing this, it looks a lot more accurate that way
Enjoy the happy fluffy tigerness and snow :3

Deadly!>=3 I love the paintwork on his fur. The colours look so accurate. I love the snow that helps to give it contrast too. =3

thank you becky I thought the orange against the black and blue of the forest behind him and the white of the snow would help him stand out :3

Yer welcome. You should totally consider going for an Art Portfoilo course when you leave school to help refine your artwork and go into Fine Arts afterwards. =3 You definatly have the talents. ^^ Or even better, animation. ^-^

You can tell it's done using paints, it gives off a certian texture. :3
I like how you did the little flakes of snow flying off the ground as the Tiger runs through it... I can't do that. D;

DM-Knuxlight In reply to TorqueTheEchidna [2006-12-03 14:39:03 +0000 UTC]

yep, definitely paints. And thank you ^^. I thought that the flakes of snow around his paws while running, were going to be hard to paint as well. But in fact, they aren't at all. You just have to wait for the oils to dry before you paint them, and all you do is, you put a little paint on the brush, run it once or twice over another surface, and THEN you paint where you want the powdery snow :3.
I hope that helps a little XD

I'll have to remember that, I have a habit of painting things over when the stuff under it is still wet. XD
Thanks. :b
