Zebra | Personal Work
The zebra is a beast that had been on my hit list for a long time. This guy's been painted in acrylic on illustration board. The painted area is only 5.1/8" in diameter (just a tiny bit bigger than it is displayed here). The initial sketch I went with was even smaller. I have it available as a 4.5"x6" greeting card and a small print, and will look into making buttons and coasters and other round things with it too. I like the cheerfulness of the image, to me this zebra looks happy and refreshed. I thought the water turned out pretty cool too.
Something else I like about this little guy is that he reminds me of my parent's dog Mac. One of the happiest creatures on four legs, and my little brother.

Your insane, I can literally si hi lights and shadows from every muscle on that Zebra! The snout look a little bit big to me, like he could bight me whole head off! good call on the layering effect for the water, did u add the water reflection/gradation on the Zebra afterwords?
All acrylic! and yeah, his proportions are a little cartoony :P kinda what I liked about the sketch.
