Your artwork is amazing. Are you a self-taught artist or did you get training of some kind?

The whole collection is beautiful, ethereal and gentle. My favourites here are the bottom left ACEO and the rightmost bookmark. I love the flow and movement in both cases, and the background of the bookmark. That's watercolours at their best.

I really like the ethereal, magical aura that you give to all your drawings
And here I also like how you've drawn the clothes,flowing perfectly over their bodies, they seem to be two very comfortable pieces of clothe!

My favourite is the girl on the far left at the bottom. The pose reminds me of one of my own characters.

Dearest Achen, once again your work is stunning; the colours are beautiful, the atmosphere eerie and the character very full of emotions. I myself love watercolours but I'm not very good at it (as you can see for yourself in my gallery ) I'm wondering; did you learn all by yourself or are/were you an art student ? Would you recommend some books to learn watercolours, or online tutos, or anything ? Or better: a tutorial made by your very self, that would be awesome
Keep making us dream !

Thank you very much for your wonderful comment!
I have been an animation student but i took up and learnt watercolours on my own. I'm afraid i don't have any books to share from personal use/experience but *leochi 's journal here [link] has some nice suggestions if you want to take a look. And here [link] are some tutorials i found helpful when i first began using watercolours but from there on you develop a technique that works for you personally. Sometimes by trial and error. So i'm not sure if a tutorial on my technique will be any insightful but i'll try and make one at some point.

Your figures are stunning and I love the pastel colours. The overall effect is magical and I'm sure the author must be pleased with what you have achieved.
