Poison dart frogs WIP
🕑 Added 2019-04-11 15:19:58 +0000 UTCThere is something very interesting about poison dart frogs.
They carry tadpoles on their backs.
I've seen a documentary about this before.
Youtube link (Strawberry Poison Dart Frog | National Geographic. It's short and cute film)

I made color thumbnail before I paint..
It is very helpful when use many color :)
I wouldn't be able to paint quickly without the color thumbnail.
Design tip
I have a kind of flat art style.
I minimize the use of dark and shadow.
Instead, I use color to express the boundaries of things.
In the first sketch, the frog's feet feel like as thin as the fish fins.
I used a line to express the thickness.
Thank you for reading :D

I'm really loving these, and i love your process posts. They are super helpful and it's really cool to see your thinking process. I love your process when it comes to picking out and selecting color, that always seems to throw me for a loop.

Agree, the ending is quite sad. Although this is Mother Nature.

Just watched it! It's so curious to se how the mom frog takes care of the children. The ending is a sad one, though.

Thank you for your drawing request, Udina! It's very short film about 2 minites, hope you like this film.

So pretty! I didn't know about frogs carrying tadpoles on their backs, it gives them a sense of tenderness. Thanks for the link to the film, it sounds interesting, I'll watch it soon when I get some free time :D
