Artist's Comments

I haven't uploaded anything for a month, so I thought I'd finally post this children's book illustration I did for class last semester. This is Jonny Appleseed helping bandage the wolf's leg after finding him in a hunter's trap. The wolf then becomes his traveling companion!

I painted this entire thing in gesso and payne's gray acrylic before glazing color (also in acrylic) over it. It was my first time trying the technique. I think it was successful in creating ground and environment textures, but I'm not pleased with the way the wolf looks. I like Jonny's face though, I should paint more humans. =)

Sorry for my absense! I'm in a bit of an art lull, but I wanted to share some stuff that's been sitting around with you anyway.

Yeah, His face is good; it has a gentelness to it. I can't find any fault in the wolf either. Both look ready to step into a fairy tale.

Nice work.

This is great :D The facial expressions are spot on, and your coloring is amazing (as usual)!

I think it came out great! Especially for a first try with such materials/mediums, this is very good.

The wolf looks fine I think, if only the color is a bit different. Other than that, there's no problem that I see.

This is so adorable. The expressions are right on and the colouring is phenomenal. Thanks for sharing!

See who I am,
Break through the surface.
Reach for my hand,
Let's show them that we can
Free our minds and find a way.
The world is in our hands,
This is not the end.

:heart:It's stupid to give up, isn't it?

No worries, the wolf looks great, I love the perspective in his pose and shading too.
Whole picture is beautiful - if i'd be the kid, it'd be my favorite picture in the book!

Still the same.
