Description
"Be'lial and Piter"The two Czechoslovakian Vlcaks/Wolfdogs
I got to meet a week before leaving TX.
It was such an honor.
I will not forget that day, what a wonderful breed!
I have to say Piter was much bigger than what i had expected from photo's to in person! When he got out of the car I was all: O__O <3
And Be'lial the pup (Piter's son) was such a sweetheart!
Hes my favorite. Haha!
Special thanks to Jason of AmeriCani Kennels
for driving about 40 miles just to let us meet them!
Here is a link to AmeriCani Kennels website: americanikennels.com/
This piece is a mix of watercolor pencils, and colored pencil. Both Prismacolor. And reffed from the photo's I took of them myself.
(my first mixed media piece
)

It was your first time seeing Vlcaks? Congratulations

Yes it was! I actually meant to thank you, as I first found out about the breed through your photo's!
There is a wonderful group on facebook for American Vlcaks, and that is how I found that breeder.
There are only 2 breeders in the U.S. that I am aware of. So i was very lucky that he lived so close at the time and was willing to drive and let me meet them. C: I have fallen in love with the breed and hope that one day when I have a suitable home that I can own one.

Hearing that makes me very happy;] It's one of the reasons I post my wolfdog photos online - so that people can see that there exist even more awsome animals than Huskies
I hope you do obtain a Wolfdog some day in the future! My mission would be quite accomplished then, Vlcaks are an invasive species

You did a nice job with the fur texture and anatomical proportions. Those watercolor pencils are pretty fun, aren't they?

Thank you.
Yes i've been playing with them a bit lately.
Do you perhaps have any general tips?

They aren't chief among my materials, but when I do use them, I find it is best to use the pencils as though they were not going to be effected by water later. I find some artists rely heavily on the application and transformation of the water to pick up the slack of a poor under-drawing. If you draw with 100% of your capabilities, the water-color effect will only enhance what was drawn for a new effect, instead of a vain attempt to hide imperfections, you know what I mean? The exception to the rule, if someone is predominately a traditional water-color artist and has mastery of water-color techniques, they simply will treat the pencils as a dry form of their typically tubed wet media, in which case, they imagine the exact opposite- that their water coloring painting techniques will be used regardless of the coloring medium used. As I am not of the latter group, I have to focus my energies on the drawing! Hope that makes sense!

Yes it makes sense as I have actually noticed it myself. Hearing it from a more experienced artist only confirms my assumption about treating them like regular colored pencils.
Thank you!
Weird how they work that way isn't it?

Yes- and that's the thing about mixed media- ESPECIALLY this particular combo- if an artist is not careful, the two can look very crafty and less "fine art". A clear image of what the end result should be is important. Sure, there will be some happy accidents, as water has a mind of it's own. That's why you instinctively know you have to lay a good foundation!
You're welcome!
