Description FINALLY. I finally finished this picture I've had sitting around since...last summer, I think? LOL. Well, I got around to it eventually. I was hung up on the grass, but gave me some tips on how to do it. I obviously have a lot to learn about watercolors, but I'm practicing. I got a book called "Watercolor for Beginners" and it looks promising.
In the meantime, have a playful African Wild Dog!

Oh wow, I remember this You did a great job here, the Wild Dog looks great! I really like the shading of the face, very life-like. And the grass turned out quite well, very nice "short, quick strokes of the brush" - that was exactly what I meant I'm so happy that I could help!

Thank you very much!! Thank you also for the advice on the grass, I was stuck on that for a long time, afraid of ruining the picture, but I like how it turned out!

Great job! I especially love the details on the grass and fur pattern; both look like they must've taken a while. :3

Deciding the fur pattern probably took the longest, but the grass actually didn't take very long! Just short, quick strokes of the brush dipped in a mixture of yellow and olive green paint.

He looks really good! And good job on the background!

That's all I can say here.

Really great work!
I adore the cute cartoonish look to the face, and body-- I also love that beautiful pattern too.

Thank you! I enjoy doing cartoonish stuff sometimes, it can be so much fun playing with expressions. And you can mess around with their coat pattern so much too!

I enjoy how you are able to have that cartoonish style and look yet still have some realism in there as well.
