Oh hahahahaha! What a delightful surprise! When that popped open, I just laughed. A wonderful dog face, and the raven looks pretty startled too. Maybe even a little indignant. I especially love the way you have brought the same color back into the mix to use on the dog. Working with a limited palette like that is very powerful. Are you also fleshing out the story that accompanies these drawings so they can become a book one day? Wondering…..on the other side of the looking glass, -D.
Thank you for laughing. I sort of grin when I look too. I’ve been using just a few colors throughout this series. One of my watercolor teachers taught me the limited palette and it works here too. Thanks for being on the other side of the glass.
Fun fun picture–and great technique!
Thank you for your comment.
Love this Donna, so cool with the dog’s head magnified – love that raven too! As a proud Mommy owner of a hound (beagle/basset mix)they are some of the best detectives!
Susan,
I hope I did the hound breed justice. I have Scotties and a Viszla, which I’m trying to figure out how to incorporate into the story. I love dogs!!
This is a great illustration, the dogs is so cute face through the magnifying glass. I love your style.
Thanks for all the comments. This was a fun one, once I decided what I was going to do.
Very nice work Donna. I love your take on this and your beagle is wonderful. (I used to have one . . . Have a Basset Hound now . . . Love both breeds, but Bassets are my faves). You captured the hound beautifully!
Thank you Cynthia. One of these illustrations I will work in my Scotties. The fox hound emerged a few drawings ago. At first he was a character to be feared, but in this drawing, he is charming and naive.
Scotties Look great in detective hats! And I should have noticed the longer legs making this hound a foxy guy. (I’m showing my age).
It’s wonderfull! Love the dog’s face, so funny.
Lovely! What a sweet and sensitive drawing!
