Candy Monster

I think this is my first attempt at creating something furry in watercolor. That technique seemed to be something far off - something I would only get to try once I was some kind of watercolor master. That was sort of a silly thing to think. A lot of practice and study is sometimes all it takes.

Since this creature was based on imagination and I skipped the research phase, there are some funky spots. Most of the time, I had no idea which direction to make the hair flow. Over all, I think it looks pretty good. I'm excited to be able to try this technique on some real life animals (though I don't think I'm done painting monsters).

My least favorite thing in the piece is the lollipop. It looks fine - it just isn't as shiny as I would have liked. That might be something I have to look into soon.
