Mini frog in gouache and pencil

I committed to making a mini painting for our local art show - the deadline is next week, eek! I couldn’t decide what to paint, so of course, I ended up making this wee froggy :frog:

It’s only about 8cm x 12cm (3"x5"). Gouache (Gansai Tambi), pencil (Cretacolor Nero), black Inktense, white pencil (General’s) and gold to finish (Gansai Tambi #905). I hope you like him :green_heart:

He’s so cute! I love how he extends past the edge of the picture a bit.

He is perfection! I love the color and dynamic stance. I wish I could see this piece in person to get the full effect with the gold.

He’s great! I love how he is busting out of the constraint of the background, but not aggressively. Well, maybe he is, but that froggy smile disguises his motive!

Thank you lovely lettuce friends :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

There’s no way he could be up to any mischief! :frog:

Great composition and adorable frog. The toes are spectacular and even better when I saw how small it was.
