Description

Title in English (Literally): Fairy-dogs and Dog-pipes.
The line-art of the picture can be found here: [link]

I’m really busy whit school at the moment. Have been working hard all week so I decided that I could allow myself to waste one evening in drawing. ;)

I decided to continue my “fairy animal” series. The flower in Finnish is “koiranputki”, which can be literally translated as “dog-pipe”.

The plant was really really hard to draw – the leaves are complicated and the flowers are really tiny. I’m quite happy how well I managed to draw it.
This is the first time I really tried to draw some dogs. I used Finnish dog breed “suomenpystykorva” (Finnish spitz) as a reference. The dogs aren’t really realistic, but I’m still quite happy whit them.

The picture was too big for my scanner. I had to scan the picture whit opened cover. After scanning the picture was really grey and worst of all the colour was uneven, so it was impossible to turn the picture back white again without destroying the line art. When I tried to fix it in Photoshop I accidentally created beautiful red yellow tone to the picture – I liked it so much that I decided to add it to my gallery. :D

The final picture was too big for my scanner. I had to take a photo of it. My little sister managed to take many good shots from the picture. Lets give her applause. :clap:

I’m not fully happy whit the colouring. The leaves are a bit dirty and the dogs don’t look like Finnish spitz at all and I think I should have chosen a different background… Maybe I’m just too over critical to myself and frustrated when the paining isn’t exactly as I wanted it to be. I usually start liking the picture again after a short while.

Hope you like it!!
