Description
I had lots of fun with this one! It came together really well - I was worried initially as I thought those stripes would be a major pain. They're so different to tiger stripes!
Gradient overlays are a FANTASTIC way to play with colour. Just experiment with them early on once you've got some good values and hues down and then work over them. I wish I'd used them years ago.
Commission piece. Pair to this Tiger -

Beautiful! This is a really nice composition; feels like a handheld camera shot...

That purple and and cream is beautifully. That paired with the intricate stripes, the sparse dots and your signature pretty eyes makes me love this even more than the tiger one (and you know how biased I am towards tigers). Would hang this in my house and stare at it <3

I know right? I loved the Tiger but this one came together so damn well it's unreal. Trying to keep to a limited palette is always hard for me but it can have fantastic results. Thank you!!

Thank you! I'm really enjoying all this colour exploration I've been doing lately. I feel I've learnt so much over the past couple of month with how colours and shades affect eachother.

I love it, the close-up, style and color, it's wholesome (that's the good word?)

Very pretty! Just curious, did you draw the black stripes first or the white ones?

Cool! Sorry, I meant to say did you draw the zebra white with black stripes or black with white. Sorry about the confusion!

Haha no I understood what you meant. Just had to think, as when painting over everything you kinda paint everything as one!

This is really beautiful! Those stripes must've taken ages! Zebras are lovely animals.
