Description
Summer's here! You know what that means! It's time to hit the beach after a long school semester for many of us. I mean we all deserve a much needed break from all that studying.

In this scene, we have four friends who are setting that example. Eddie the Wolf has just helped his friend, Lucy Martinez (lionness), finish a sand castle. You can see how hard it is to build a decent-looking one, and they feel accomplished for it. As for Cassandra Armstrong and David Hull, they're just relax before they hit the ocean. It seems that Cassandra (snow-leopard) got lost in a book and doesn't realize that her tail is in front of David's face. Poor David (red panda) doesn't know how to respond to that.

I may as well be honest with this one. I think the actual drawing looks better. I mean I'm really happy with coloring it in Photoshop, but I think I wasn't as careful this time around. I should really learn to take my time whenever I do digital coloring to my works. I think what through me off was trying to do proper shading. I'm so used to just use my better judgment in shading, but because I'm working with a legitimate light source I struggled to get it look like these four are under the sun. What I am really happy about this piece is that I have it displayed as a panoramic shot. I have been wanting to do a panoramic piece for a long time now excluding the photomanipulative panoramic shots in my gallery. I think I pulled it off really well here with the whole screenshot look. For widescreen users, I recommend that you try this image out on your desktop and tell me how it looks.

*sighs* I wish I could go to the beach again. The waters were nice in Florida the last time I went, but it's better going to the beaches in Puerto Rico.

Have a great summer, everyone!
