Yeah it can be Halloween in August...

Bucky for Charlotte with trans pride flag colors

This piece (my baby) right here is my pride and joy of my 2016-2017 school year. She took about 50 hours trying to get the right shades for the fur and greens surrounding the bull, but I would do it again for the pay out. A lot of the reason why it probably took so long though is that the watercolors I was using were crappy, but I didn't want to switch out in the middle of it or risk inconsistencies through the piece in the watercolor texture. So I just made do and struggled with the watercolor paints that I had. I had to use some shades of acrylic paints in order to get the vibrant colors that I wanted, like greens and yellows, and some white for the fur, along with using india ink to get the darks I wanted. Most of it was done in watercolor though. Ah well, live and let learn yet again. This one was most definitely a learning experience.
