Description: Dolphinlove! This is a commission I finally finished, commissioned by the guy on the picture, reference picture material taken at a tropical location where you got to swim with dolphins. The format is A1 because it's meant to be made into a poster. I haven't really drawn water seriously before, nor clouds, so this was challenging and learned alot doing it, especially about how light reflects off water. Awesome. In the background, there's a dragon flying up in the sky - have anyone seen Spirited Away or that Neverending Story movie? I had such a dragon in mind when drawing it! When choosing the colours for the sky, I had an evening mood in mind; dusk, that magical hour where the sun is setting.
