This is Crocoberry. A fantasy creature I have painted using watercolor. Crocoberry is when aligator meets duck meets dreams. He wants to surf around the world on a piece of watermelon serving as a surfing board. He has plenty of food supply as strawberries constantly grow on top of his head. Sometimes he feeds on stars, as they drop from the sky drawn to the alluring watermelon. Sounds crazy? Well, anything is possible in fantasy world! He loves the nighttime at the sea, as he can be with the Moon and the stars.
I started with a simple pencil drawing, trying to grasp the feeling of how I wanted this funny aligator to look like. I was not decided on colour yet.
The details were done with an Isograph 0.1 mm from Rotring using black ink. For watercolor I used Faber Castell.
I wanted the colors to look super vibrant, almost done with the marker vibe, in order to match with the crazy personality of our Hawaiian Superstar.
I had lots of fun painting this out of my imagination. Sometimes it is interesting to go out of the comfort zone as an artist and try to paint a different style. This is my first time drawing a fantasy funny creature.
