April 3rd Speed Paint Challenge

For Sparkyyy's April Speed Paint challenge fav.me/d4uo137

This image was fun and a challenge! I probably could have spent another 3 hours on it truthfully. The rocks I just sort of hinted too as it wasn't really the focus of the image. Also really tried to work on my portions and color.

Looking at it this frog has a giraffe neck and the leg in the back comes up to high on a angle. I really feel flat on getting the wetness rendering. I was running out of time at the end and of course... I left it till the end to do with only 8mins left to render. Still struggling getting my chalk pastel methods of laying down color out of my head when doing these. I certainly haven't found a good method to balance it yet. My favorite part was the eye, just came out so cute!

The tricky part on this really came to the water like spot that was on the camera lens to the right of the image and trying to work those in. I took some of the background color and blended it into the back leg to try to mimic the effect.
