@karidyas @taydemcdonald Thanks a lot for your kind words! I rarely hear positive things about my art so I can take pretty much any kind of feedback. You're right about the muddy colours. The big difference between the two is the techniques I was going for were based on my studies years ago. Sumi e with only watercolours and sumi e with ink + watercolours. Thus I painted the fox with colours only, giving it a much happier and brighter look. And as you can guess, I didn't think about the lighting direction ^-^"
Which do you all prefer?
Long live the sandwich method :')
