This was a speed sketch/coloring. So I started with a ball point pen sketch (found here: Prismacolor), trying to define as little of the figure as possible with line/outline, which I feel I could have done better.
I also had the goal of trying to use white sparingly. I failed. I got out of control, went into one of my obsessive trances and lost sight of the forest for the trees. I tried to fix it, but short of pulling out paint, I was stuck. pencils and marker don't go over that white well.
Another goal was to draw cute. =) I think he turned out cute.
And the real reason I did this was because I wanted a chance to try out all my new supplies!

That's really adorable. I love the detail you put in the face - It really looks like an otter and it's very cute, too!
I like how you set the focus on the face, with making it the only detailed thing, while everything else is loose. It really works for this picture. I especially love the way you colored this - You've really got some skill with mixing color pencils and markers there if the face was done with just those. It's amazing.
I don't know if you do want constructive criticism or not, since I do have something I want to suggest for future on the water. But overall, I absolutely can say you did very well on this for a quickie. :3
