Growl

So....   watercolor.  It asn't exactly been my best friend in my time as an artist, but i love what a skilled hand can do with it, and i want a skilled hand.  I didn't give myself enough time (as always) but the idea, if not the total effect that I wanted, is here.  I love this first description of Gmork on page 24.  For those of you reading at home, Adam and I downloaded a .pdf version of the book so that we would have the same version, same page numbers and all that, but if you have the chance to purchase The Neverending Story - the book- DO.

I know that the post is a little less growl than it could have been if I had gone with a picture of Wolvie, but i didn't like most of my sketches of him.  The mouth was always wrong.  In this one i wanted simple and stylized meets cosmic clouds.  if I was better at watercolor, I would have more cosmic in the clouds.  I'm going to force myself to use the medium more so that I will get better.

Your topic my brother is "Red Cloak"

  1. I just woke up to see this and it is SWEET! Way to show me up by doing precisely what I didn't do yesterday :) I'm excited about this new weapon "red cape". I think my only problem will be deciding which direction I want to take it!
