This is my assignment: Cute kitschy animals in action. In watercolor.
This was really hard for me to start and sketch out, as I am terrible at making things look cute... I had to spend a lot of time redrawing and trying to un-creepify it. But I kind of had fun with the watercolor after a while... I didn't hate it as much as I thought. It also doesn't hurt that I referenced possibly the cutest puppy in the universe.
I think it could use more contrast though now that I see it on the screen.
I wanted assignment just like this!! cute kittens and watercolor....
ReplyDeleteI think you captured the cuteness of kittens and the puppy pretty well. compositionally too, just pile of kitties also works for the subject. I wish I could see more define line in the edges of the objects just little bit, or contrast like you said.
I think this piece works really well. I would like to see a little more definition in the kittens. Maybe just the same as the puppy.
ReplyDeletehaha i think this is still a little creepy!
ReplyDeleteI think maybe if you had used less black for shading things would be lighter and "cuter" i guess?
cute1 Good composition. I think the kittens should look a bit more devilish in the faces and fluffy but it looks good
ReplyDeletei think you're right about the contrast... darken the puppies nose, add a spot of white on it to make it shine, and make the cats eyes more evil. maybe even experiment with artificial lighting coming from underneath the cats. thats an end-all evil recipie right there.
ReplyDeletegood piece !
Hey I had this big long comment ready to post and my internet crapped out when I hit the button. Awesome.
ReplyDeleteLong story short- I loved your sketch, you handled the watercolor really well. Love the saturation. Consider color penciling on top of some points to define some hairs/make things pop.
Haha this image is hilarious, and I love the watercolor. The kittens are a little more creepy then cute though.
ReplyDeletehahahah
ReplyDeleteoh my gosh, i love the kittens' evil eyes..poor, unsuspecting puppy..I think the cats look great, I kind of want to see more detail in the puppy though, like a really fine brush used to define hairs, like on that top strip of white on his back.
