One of my favorites from the bunch of five watercolor portraits I took! I struggled with the black fur a bit, over saturating the paper and then having to find ways to make it work. I ended up relying more on the ink than the watercolor to get the dark fur I wanted. I REALLY enjoyed designing this mask! The character has heat powers, so i wanted to play off a phoenix theme, and get some really saturated red/oranges in there.

I have loved seeing you do these traditional media pieces. You really got the mask to pop! And kudos on black fur, you handled it really well.
