Description A children's illustration depicting the nursery rhyme Little Boy Blue, but set in mongolia--hence the yaks (this painting was basically an excuse to paint yaks, cuz they're so cute!). This is my second time using gouache. It's a good medium for achieving a textural quality.

Very creative! I have a fondness for yaks and these yaks are especially nice yaks, gathered around the sleeping boy

Yes, I like illustrating fairy tales, so I will probably be posting more in the future.

Wow, so realistic! It's one of the few Mongolian-related pictures I actually like! Yaks yeah they are smelly I rode them once, but very gentle creature despite it's size. :WOW!:

Thanks! I've never been around a yak in real life, but I can imagine them being quite smelly indeed.

The colours and light are beautiful, they give the feeling of Mongolian plains very well! Nice job with the yaks

I love yaks! In theory. They are adorable in vision, not in smell.

And I can almost taste the texture seeping off my screen.

They probably are smelly in real-life. Yeah, texture is fun

Oh my god, you've gotten so insanely good. @_@
I wish I still had art class with you so I could watch this insanity in person.
