After some comments from the commissioner, I revised the position of the dog and the girl.
Sketch
Combined the old thumbnail with the revised pose with the magic of Photoshop to show to the commissioner.
Lineart
Eyeballed transferring the sketch to proper watercolor paper, lined with Sakura Micron pens! Started on the base wash of colors before realizing I needed to take a picture :P

Several watercolor layers later, the final photo!

The original photo didn't have the fur everywhere -- but the commissioner requested it, so I added it on top of the watercolor using gouache.
Nice coloring and composition. May I ask you how you digitalize your colored work? I have quite some trouble with my scanner. The colors all wash away.
darkt3co sure thing! I just use the levels and color balance settings in photoshop to restore the digital image's colors after I scan it. I don't really have a system for it though -- just messing around with the settings until it looks like it should!
Love this! Especially love the final as I really admire the look of watercolors and those who can use it. The commission turned out great and all elements comes off as really well balanced and cute. It can be mildly frustrating when a commissioner asks for changes but I love the new pose you gave her and the dog.

starmasayume Thanks so much! I missed the old pose at first, but the new pose started to grow on me as I worked on it. Glad you like it too! :)
