HI Maureen, What a cute otter. Hope I got that right! Love the expression on his face. I can easily imagine this little guy exploring the river or pond around him. Love the setting you put him in. The nice detail of your work really allow us to enjoy the scene! Nicely Done! :o)

This is a cute little fella as he embarks on his nocturnal pursuit. Or maybe it is the break of dawn. Your soft pastel work shows the high lights in a great way. Thank you for sharing. Ray

Maureen,
A very beautiful Pastel Drawing of the Otter exploring it's surroundings the light sparkling in it's eyes, while highlighting it's fur- coat. Created by your artist's eye for composition very skilful draftsmanship, beautiful choice, blending & application of your colours in bringing this Otter to Life on your canvas.
Susan

WOW!! This is very beautiful!! The color palette is very pretty and thoughtfully put together. I especially really like the use of teal and orange pastels in this piece. I think those two colors pair well together. The lighting is very cool too, especially with most of the light being shone on the otter's face. Thank you for this artpiece :)

A cute little face on this otter, looking like he's coming out of the water. I love the detail you have rendered. The dark background adds to the attraction of this piece of artwork.

A good looking nature image presented here! Your fine, full and appropriate composition offers us a very enjoyable view of handsome animal. Textures, colours and tones are good. Nicely drawn!

I like the facial expression of this explorer. The way you've drawn and painted the whiskers and the shiny nose is so cute and it looks real, like a photograph. The choice of realistic colors is a delight. I also like the ample space that you've provided from the top giving your subject plenty of room to breathe and move. The portrait orientation is just appropriate in this scene that also showcased its habitat. Well conceptualized and is a refreshing scene.
