Description Ok! by popular demand here goes another tutorial!
Just as I promised! I hope it is helpful! ^^


PLEASE READ:
- IF YOU EVER RESORT TO THIS TUTORIAL OR USE TIPS FROM IT LET ME KNOW! ^^ I WOULD LOVE TO SEE THE RESULTS!
- Sorry for the REALLY poor quality of the photos...
- This is just a SUGGESTION! I don't really know how to use watercolours properly: this is just merely stuff I've learned from my own personal experience using this medium and I'm completely self-taught! I'm not saying that my way of colouring is better then any other!

Muito ΓΊtil mesmo. Eu estou a comeΓ§ar a experimentar com aguarelas agora. Decidi avanΓ§ar porque finalmente dominei a parte de contorno e sombreados. Durante anos nunca consegui trabalhar a nΓ­vel de criar profundidade. Agora finalmente consegui e decidi avanΓ§ar.

Very nice work I really like all of your tutorials!
You seem to be using a lot of different media while doing art, which one is your favourite?

PS. Finished is written with one n ... (sorry x'D)

If yew like pencils, watercolours, and markers, why don't yew use watercolour pencils? Then outline the picture with markers?

You have a cool way of colouring and it's so totally different XDD I think it's interesting that you start inking while still colouring it :3 but that's a cool idea :3 I always have to re-ink my pictures XD
