Description

First card of three of an ACEO trade I'm doing with Aishila


These are her two wolf characters, one who represents the dark side of the moon and the other who represents the bright side. I'm thinking I don't have to tell you which is which.  


Anyway, I loved doing this. It taught me that coloring can be fun and hard at the same time. That fur was an absolute butt!! But it was a blast at the same time. Go figure. As I've had little to no experience coloring fur, I hope it looks alright. I actually doodled some wolves on another piece of paper and practiced coloring those first until I was confident enough that I wouldn't mess up the ACEO too badly. Also, black wolf is described as having fragments of stars in her fur, so I used sparkly glitter paint to achieve that affect. It kind of doesn't show up too well in the photo, but I promise it is there. Background supposed to represent the aurora that streams from white wolf's fur.


I hope you like it, Aishila , as well as anybody else who happens to take a look.


Two more cards to go!


Technical: pen, colored pencil, white paint, and glitter paint on bristol

How cute and beautiful! Those little characters are adorable and I love the way you colored their fur! Lighter one's fur has such cool loking iridescent shades and darker one's fur is reflecting background colors beautifully.
I also like a lot how everything in this cards flows: there are lots of movement - great poses and composition!

Thank you so much! Gaaah, your words are kind and make me feel happy and glad and so many things.

I was afraid that I did the reflecting light thing with the black wolf's fur so horribly, so to hear you say that it looks good is like...huge weight lifted off.
