Card done for Eileen's birthday, April 2017.
Eileen has settle on cute baby animals for her cards now. Last year she wanted a panda cub and this year she wanted a wolf cub. Becca found a picture she loved and recommended it as the choice.
Done with polychromos pencils and built up in layers, utilising my pressure application and layering techniques, the picture consists of 22 colours.
The cub's eye was done with white, dark sepia and black.
The nose was done with violet, Payne's grey, cinnamon, black and cold grey 1.
The muzzle was done with white, ivory, violet, nougat, Payne's grey, black and arm grey 4.
The ears were done with nougat, Payne's grey, cinnamon, black, cold grey 6, warm grey 1 and warm grey 5.
The cub's head and body were done with white, ivory, dark sepia, walnut brown, nougat, bistre, Payne's grey, siena natur ochre, Venetian red, black, cold grey 6, warm grey 1, warm grey 4 and warm grey 5.
The rocky ground was done with white, ivory, permanent green olive, earth green, dark sepia, nougat, bistre, Payne's grey, siena natur ochre, Venetian red, black, cold grey 1, cold grey 6, warm grey 3, warm grey 5 and burnt siena.
Finally, the unfocused background was done with ivory, grass green, permanent green olive, earth green, siena natur ochre, warm grey 1, warm grey 4 and warm grey 5.

Thanks
Not quite as clear as the original but I just blurred it a little with a greys and browns to add detail without adding it all.

Aw! So cute!

I like how you have only one paw on a rock with the others behind.

Again, another stunning work!

And yes, the rocks are very cool!

To quote my niece when we talked on skype as she opened this, in her best Agnes impression : "It's so fluffy!"

Beautiful work! It's very cute and the colours and detail are spot-on as always, you've captured the wolf cub's "baby coat" really well. I can just hear the wolf cub howling! I love the attention to detail in the background as well. Excellent work as always Steve, I'm running out of great words in the dictionary to say about your work

And nice to see a picture of a wolf howling that doesn't include a moon somewhere in the image - for once!

Thanks Emma
It was fun drawing all that fluffy coat. Lots of layers but nice and detailed. The rocks were a good challenge too. Haven't done any that detailed since the ones for 'I'm watching you.'
Yeah, the moon is too cliche

TheOneVeyronian In reply to Starfire-Productions [2017-05-25 19:39:09 +0000 UTC]

Not a problem. Oh yes, I remember I'm Watching You, that lovely tiger cub

I look forward to seeing what your next piece is

A lot more animal and sci-fi pieces coming up over the next couple of weeks so stay tuned
