No idea what these names are in English or in the Italian original. But it's a couple of oddballs from one of my childhood's favorite books: Cipollino, by Gianni Rodari. An oversized carrot detective's got an undersized dog pet.. Well, what I like about them is their names, in Romanian. Something like.. Detective Carrotelli and his dog SniffSniff.
I decided to try drawing directly in color, with various brushes, and then smudge smudge.. and then clean up and draw and smudge some more. A bit messy, smudgy, imprecise.. I'd like to achieve a cleaner look, less smudginess, sharper edges. Without painting with selections tho. O o
