Cute & Beautiful Dolphin. Digital illustration close to realism.

At first I did the sketch part of the drawing. Didn't take much time while sketching though.

After the sketch part is done I concentrate on the Background to complete it. Here the BG is very important cause it will play a vital role for the lighting and shadow on the dolphin. Once the BG is done I have a clear idea about what kinda light and shadow will reflect on the Dolphin.
