Her Royal Highness, Buttercup the Sloth


Another painting process post? Yeah, because why the hell not! This time starring the only queen that I'll ever bow down to (well, except for maybe Marina,) – Buttercup the Sloth!


As in my previous process post regarding painting Ziggy, I feel that taking the time to really get to grips with my watercolours has helped me to understand the medium more and actually improved my skills somewhat. Practice makes way for improvement – who'd have thought it, eh?! However with every silver lining comes a cloud, and in this it's definitely the foliage. I salute anyone who can a) accurately paint it, and b) enjoys painting it, because i absolutely cannot stand trying to get all the little leafy greens right. Perhaps more practice will remedy it?

  2. This is such a beautiful painting! I love your style and I love the fact that it's visible in your doodles as well as in your 'full-grown' paintings. :)
