While the first thing that came to mind is a hibernating bear, my favorite hibernating creatures are toads. Just because I vividly remember watching Animal Planet as a girl and being amazed when they dug down into the snow and dirt and pulled out a sleeping frog. Amazing! Up until then I was fairly certain that bears were an anomaly, the only creatures to sleep through winter besides my brother.
I tried a different technique with the watercolors, using mostly just small circles. Overall I like the look, but I believe it needs some additional work. You can see the image I used for my inspiration.
Wow. It took me a second to focus, but this is a great rendition of your inspiration photo! I love your colors.
ReplyDeleteI really like the circles, personally. And I'm glad to hear that someone else is in the toad appreciation society. I think they're amazing.
ReplyDeleteNicely done. We have a big fat toad in our garden. I think we let it sleep through the winter....it doesn't look very attractive. And the thought of kissing it..arrgh.....prince or not...thank you.
ReplyDeleteYour drawing is very nice with all those tiny circles.
Very cool!!
