Artist: krislaughs
Title: Winter's Night (one)
Characters: R/S, some reindeer, and Santa with his sleigh off stage right
Rating: PG
Medium: Watercolour
A/N: Er. I needed to take more time with this one, especially the deer. Again, I liked the preliminary sketch a whole lot, but the watercolours didn't bear my concept well.

The texture on the deer is wonderful. Your watercolors are so very rich! :)

er, thank you. I really really can't get them to look the way I want though. This one in particular... I wish I had stuck to pencil. *sigh*

I do like the way the scarf came out though.

This one is adorable! Did you write a drabble to go with it? Because it really need to have a drabble.

I didn't write much of one. Feel free! ;)

Oh but yes! She did write a caption, and it was lovely!

But I won't say anything in case you still didn't write the drabble :)

I don't know for the sketch, but the coloured version worked very well for me! The reindeers hair is wonderfully done, and Christmas cards need rich colours as the one you painted.

Really, what's bothering you here?

Mmm. I just felt... I tihnk I overworked the skin and underworked the reindeer, if that makes any sense.

I dunno. The sketches looked the way I wanted them to, but the finished product did not, no matter how much I tried.
