Description This is supposed to be Bubbles, a pilot whale. I've never done a pilot whale before... well, actually, I drew this same image, but it came out looking like a rock. It's quite difficult to draw/paint something that's so dark. So I hope it actually looks like her.

Thi is amazing! I'm still being stunned by how good people can draw those reflections on dolphins that make them look really wet. Great job!

so good! your reflections are always so perfect! and no, the painting version in no way resembles a rock haha.

I always think of the "b-b-b-b-bubbles!" part of that SW movie when I see Bubble's name.

Hehe, I get that song stuck in my head too. Unfortunately, I only know two lines of it, so it gets old really quick.

Wow! That is wonderful! It looks even better than that photo of her! Dark animals are so hard to draw/paint, and you have made her so lifelike! The eye is awesome!

They are beautiful (and I like them much better than the bottlenoses). I really wish there was more of a focus on them, because they are amazing animals and the show just has them jumping around a bit. It would be really nice to be able to see them outside of that. =

I have some pictures of her here that you may like:

There's more, but I'm super lazy about uploading. (And I know Shadow's really Niner, but I think it's a crummy name, heh.)

I love your quote, by the way.

One day, maybe they will have some sort of exhibit for them...i know it is something i would..really love to see...

And you have some lovely photos of them!
Whenever i go to the show, someone with a large head sits in front of me (and this is true for Any show i see at sea world it seems) o-o i've realized..i have next to no pictures of Shadow or Bubbles

and i do agree that Niner is....kind of an awkward name ><

Thanks! with my first drawing my mom said, "What is it?"

And I replied, "It's a pilot whale."

And she said, "What's that?"

And I said, "Um... a whale?"

She squinted at it and told me, "It looks like a rock. A really good rock, but still a rock."

I looked at it and sighed.

Then I showed her the photo I used as reference. She looked at that and said, "That looks like a rock too. So I guess that means you did a good job?"

Alas.

Thanks so much! I appreciate comments from the whaley people who can give me a second opinion. I really don't know her face well enough to tell if it feels like her or not, so I'm grateful for your comment.

I've never heard of bubbles, unfortunately, so I can't help you there.
However I don't think it looks like a rock.. Hehe ..So that's good right?
I love the shape of her head, and the way you did the water.
Especially the reflection of bubbles.
Good job.
