Watercolor pencils on my fine grain heavy weight paper, 5 x 16 cm.--- --- --- --- --- ---
For MLP-ATG-Alumni Week 148-Theme: "Helping Out!"
Kind of. Actually I realized that I need a bookmark. (I was using a 5 Euro-note for some time, which also has style.) Something to help me find the page I was reading last. Ah, you see? This thing is helping me out. So it fits for this week's theme.
This is also the first time I used liquid frisket for the eyes and the "dyed" lines in tail and mane. Additionally I bought some real watercolors last week without having the time to use them yet (used my pencils here again). But it was about time. I planned it for a long time now. And seeing this drawings by sophiecabra and kenket just made me even more eager to buy them.

That reminds me, I need to make a bookmark of my own as part of my university assignments. I wonder where I can get fine grain heavy weight paper? What is liquid frisket? I have heard of it before.

The paper is not that special, but part of Daler Rowney's normal portfolio. I bought it in a normal art supplies shop here around.
The liquid frisket (I bought the one by Schmincke) is a masking liquid you can apply with a brush, a toothpick or such. It dries within some minutes and then protects this part of the picture from the watercolor. You can simply paint over it and scrap it off afterwards. So this allows for white details like the eyes or the Cutie Mark (not that good to see here) or for successive coloring.

So, you basically got the paper from a sketchbook? I don't live in Germany so I don't know how to get these materials.

Daler Rowney is a british company. I guess they sell their things in the United Kingdom as well.
And yes, it's a sketchbook, although it maybe sounds kind of misleading. It is not a ring binder or something like that. It is simply 30 sheets of A4 sized paper.
Nothing too special at all. There should be a standard art supplies store near you where you can find such paper (there are a lot of manufacturers).

I didn't know it's a company from my country. So, you just used one piece of paper from a sketchbook?

Correct. I see, I'm really struggling to find the right name.

That must be a lot of sketchbook paper to be glued together. Do they have to be stacked on top of each other?

If you read through the whole sourcebook of Shadowrun you know where to shoot where it hurts!
