We are working in watercolors in my Illustration class. For a practice watercolor we had to do something from a photo and/or a still life. I chose this cute little giraffe (photo found on DA, it is not mine) to practice my watercolor talents on. :D

Snazzy! Are you working on paper? Sounds like a stupid question, but there are watercolor boards, which are absolutely to die for when it comes to working with gouache or watercolor. It looks like you have a pretty good handle on a medium that tends to have a pretty big learning curve!

Beautiful. I love the shading and textures and crisp edges. This is magnificent. Not a subject I usually get into much, but it's the way you rendered it.

Art is an extension of the soul. If you can not draw you are soulless. And noone is soulless

Nice work. I'm becoming more and more of a water color fan. Especially to mix with my inks and pencils.

Also this reminds me I think I have three rolls to still develup of just giraffes from the last time I went on a photo spree at Binder Park Zoo.
