IF - My Paradise


As long as I'm happy, I'm in paradise. Here is a girl and her pup...far away from the hectic city and the grind...I wish I could do this more often...then I'd be in paradise!

This is my first attempt using watercolor pencils after making outlines in marker and scanning it into the computer. I adjusted the colors a bit, but now I think its too dark.

Anyway, I am a sketcher...since I don't usually do anything with my work, I'm not used to finishing it. I usually draw a pencil sketch and then move on the next thing I want to draw (short attention span). I hope Illustration Friday will help me finish more sketches so I can figure out a the medium I like to work in. I tried to color this on the computer, but I'm still not that great at it. I need to practice...if it wasn't for this whole full time job thing getting in the way...hmmm...
