Description While walking through the forest, you decide to take a rest on a nearby rock and you watch the wildflowers sway lazily in the breeze.
WHOOSH!
An object flies above your head. You look up in time to see a red beast leap off a rock and soar over you. For a moment, he seems to fly as he catches the tennis ball before hitting the ground. He continues to run and you find yourself admiring the little dog's speed and agility.
Although, he isn't quite like the other dogs...

Excuse the last-minute writing. ^^'

I got ~o0-Meep-Loves-Pie-0o 's character, Oreo, for this month's XChange. c:

I wanted to do watercolors, and this was the perfect excuse to get back into traditional painting. It was also a chance to practice realistic dogs. I tried to make him realistic while keeping his somewhat anthropomorphic features.

I wish I had a bigger scanner. One that can scan 9 x 12 paintings. :c
And you should see it IRL. I fixed it a little bit in Photoshop, but the colors still aren't as vivid as the original. They're all dull and gross in the scan. :\

The background is fascinating and I agree with the others the pose is cool.

Even though I would say that the back legs are a bit to less colored... I think it is the point of the effect that he is jumping... (does it make sense?.. weird sentence...)

Thank you!

With the way I drew the legs, I thought I should try a little atmospheric perspective. The perspective is definitely emphasized beyond normal, but I personally like it. It also keeps Oreo from being too overpowering, with the bright red.

O, it's great to be doing traditional. I needed a break from the restrictive interface of Photoshop. xD

Okay, Just didn't want you to think I was being rude or something.
Nice. I love the whole idea of the Xchange. And I'm glad they give you a whole month. I would be late if they hadn't D:

Thankies.
They take a lot of patience. Almost any translucent media is like that, though. I really like watercolors because of the versatility. There are many techniques you can use to produce amazing effects, and they're very easy to manipulate.
