Description

A commission for the wonderful

Everyone do a little dance with me.
So, here's another commission I was given a bit of freedom with. All I was given was the concept: Jack Sparrow in a rowboat, with Ariel in the water.
First off, I love concept. It's adorable, and I was really excited to start this one.
However, there were a lot of elements that I ran into that really tested my patience with myself. One of them being my unfamiliarity with drawing row boats and water. However, the biggest concern of mine was that I hadn't done a full-fledged watercolor piece since summer.

Granted, I was given the freedom to work with whatever medium I chose, but I felt that watercolor would look the best. I don't know, man, it sounded right.

Then I decided to go out on a limb and try out a bunch of different techniques. Everything from the back to the front was done with a different technique than I'm used to, and I did it all while working directly off the transfer sketch, rather than putting down a line art before-hand.

I got a bit shaky towards the end, but I really like how it turned out?
I mean, I don't know, I'm just fairly happy with how it turned out.

It's a good feeling, man.
