Facts about Cougars:
The most widely distributed great cat in the Western Hemisphere, the cougar lives in a variety of habitats that offer adequate cover and prey, including lowland tropical forests, grasslands, mountains, coniferous forests and swamps. This mountain lion’s diet consists primarily of ungulates such as deer, moose and elk, but they also feed on smaller animals like raccoons, squirrels and rabbits. They cover the uneaten meat from their kills with debris and return several times to feed. Due to relentless hunting and habitat encroachment, cougars are threatened throughout most of their range.

May I ask what kind of style this is done in? :3 I'm very curious...to me, it looks like watercolor or sumi-e (I love both) as well as what inks/paints were used?

Actually, no traditional material was used in this image. This is 100% done in Photoshop CS5 There are brushes you can make and use that replicate traditional brushes.

And I just tried replicating *MoonsongWolf 's style one day in a double meme she and I took part in [link] . After that, I got hooked to doing digital art in this fashion. I will have to look into the art style you mentioned. Any suggested artists I should look at?

Wow! I had no idea that it was digital! That looks really impressive...it fooled me, obviously! I wouldn't know...I don't do digital at all. Very nicely done!

As far as artists...I don't really know, but I was curious because I do watercolors and sumi-e, which is traditional Japanese style of painting.

Thank you very much! It was my goal to make it look traditional. Looks like I did well huh?

I don't usually use watercolors, I usually use Gouashe. You ever used it?

I have no idea what that is, no.

It's just basically opaque watercolor.

littlechibi In reply to amandas-sketches [2010-08-26 18:23:27 +0000 UTC]

Huh. No, I've never tried that or heard of it. I usually use watercolored pencils or crayons in conjunction with my sumi-e.

I wouldn't use it until you understand watercolors.

I didn't know what else to use. I was going to use my old Avatar for my other account but eh, I didn't want to use the same one for both accounts.
