The final upload for the lickie fox!
This piece was done for a large 7 page article on combining real media with digital. I was asked to create a 70's street art look with digital ink and digital watercolors with a fox subject done in colored pencils. The first section of the article is about how I use colored pencils, and the rest is on using various kinds of watercolor.
I will tell you right now I traced the background from stock images provided for me. I simply didn't have enough time to try and draw such a complex bit of perspective. It's a good thing I did cause holy crap painting it took forever! Painter's watercolor's are neat but they render very, very slowly. Even undo's would chug.
Anyway, Issue 9 is out now and if you are in the UK, it should already be in stores, if you not, it will take a while. Or order it online! http://www.digitalartistdaily.com/blog/?p=365

Absolutely spectacular.
Traced background...I wouldn't sweat it. What you do with it matters more than the source/inspiration. The big issue with tracing is people who _only_ can trace.
Picasso supposedly said 'Good artists borrow, great artists steal.' It's been used to justify any number of things, but let's just say a hell of a lot more work and imagination clearly went into this than into, oh, anything at all by Damien Hirst, no matter how many millions of dollars he gets.

By the way, the family of coyote just like cars - Vaz 2103 (model was produced from 1972 to 1985, the model itself was based on the Fiat 124 model, but the design has already been borrowed from the Fiat 125, but cataphotes and the indicators it is not sideways, and under headlights. And more chrome on the grille (as in the first modification Fiat 125), and even the color looks like - yellow
by the way - here it is, this model, the Russian Wikipedia (alas, the English Wikipedia describe it is not). Indeed - much like the Fiat 125 (although created based on Fiat 124) http://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%92.....%90%D0%97-2103
While you may have traced the background (cities with their repetitive windows and brick walls are a bear to do free-hand), your coloring of it made it yours, and not just a copy job.
I've fav'd this pic, and downloaded it to my personal collection of art that is worth seeing again and again, but could I ask why you didn't give the fox a line out-line so that he/she would have blended in with the style of the rest of the picture?
