Description
Thank you to [link] for the use of this awesome stock.I just had to make a Spring ATC out of it. The small view of the picture is the actual size of the drawing. The large view is it blown up to an enormous size and looks a bit strange.
This was given to :claudiamm37: as a Spring ATC trade.
Happy Spring everyone!
Staedtler watercolor pencils
Prismacolor pencils
Derwent Colorsoft pencils
Designer Gouche for highlights
Strathmore Bristol vellum ATC paper 2.5" x 3.5"
*edit : I uploaded a new one that is closer to the original picture.

I enjoy a piece that grabs my attention, right away. This piece does that, for a few reasons: Who doesn't like a cute duck? And technically, using these blue(s) and yellow(s) always works, the reflective properties of the hues you chose are always appealing. The composition is balanced, and the focal point, the eye, is a perfect example of the first element of design: Point. I enjoy the use of materials, the brush strokes add weight to the fine lines of the color pencils.
Your variation on blues, in the background, adds interest and value, as well as texture, that supports the subject, without detracting from it.
An overall wonderful piece, technical aside, who doesn't like a cute duck?

you are sssooo silly! you are Incredible! I would trade ANYTHING with you...is the little ducky available? or maybe we could do something, like pick a theme and we both draw/paint whatever, and trade them? any ideas?

The duckling is actually going to be sent out tomorrow to someone for a Spring Exchange.
I don't mind...we could do anything. I will send you my address tomorrow by private note and we can decide then. I am going off to bed now, it's been a long, wonderful day! Thanks for making it even more special. ♥ Sandie

what i like about this is that the detail is really nice but it doesnt look like an exact copy from like. you can see that theres a very sketchy and almost painterly approach to it and i think its very whimsical
