Wow that's very cool!!
I love the way you blended the colours together, it's very well done and I know it's not an easy thing to do!! One week ago I started a drawing using colour pencils for the first time but I'm finding it very difficult to blend... it's way harder than the normal black pencil! So congrats all the more for the good job here!

Hey Laura! Thank you very much for faving my 'grumpy colibri' and also for your lovely comment. What colour pencil you use for your drawing? Yes, blending is not so easy with colour pencils, but with some practise that works ^^

You're very welcome ^_^
I' ve bought Derwent Studio 72 fine colour pencils, they're great for details but not very soft, but I'm getting better at using them. I'm doing a portrait and it takes so much longer than doing digital art...however it's more satisfying! I hope I'll be able to upload it in a few days ^_^

Oh, that problem I also had with my drawing. I used Koh-i-noor colourpencils. They soft, but drawing details is better with polychromos from faber castell. So I mixed the Koh-i-noor and the polychromos^^ Digitalpainting is very nice. I have some unfinished digitalpainting works, which I started onces with photoshop. Later I switched on traditionalart, because I use so often my pc for other stuff, sometimes its nice to draw with the traditional pencil
I can not wait to see your portrait

yeah I think I'll have to do something similar, I'll keep my colour pencils for details and buy softer pencils to blend!
I have loads of unfinished works (both traditional and digital)... basically when I'm in troubles and I don't know how to continue or how to draw something I stop, just like what happened to the portrait I'm doing, but I'll finish them all eventually
Thanks so much for the nice message, I hope I'll be able to finish this portrait in a week, but it's giving me troubles!!

Oh yes, I know that! Sometimes you stuck on a work, and dont know, how to get forword. And sometimes you even hadn't enough time to draw or paint.

Sure, I'm back on it now it's just... the guy I'm drawing has a bit of scruffy look and in his beard there are brown-black-gray AND white hair! How am I gonna do that...argh!! And you, are you drawing anything at the moment?
Yeah tell me about it, it's actually kinda hard to find someone to talk to here! Who knew!
Hope to hear from you soon!

What guy do you drawing? A celebrity? Perhabs white pastell pencil is helpful for the white hair in the bread? Have you try? Or you actually have to leave some 'white space' for the white hair
Yes, Im working on a painting at the moment. Its a present for my godchild I am painting with watercolours, so its quite colourful Hope I finish it in a few days
I was so free to follow you on Instagram Do you still active there?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well, we can say he is a 'celebrity' in his own way 
For the beard yes I'm doing just as you said, I'm leaving the white spaces and then I'm colouring over it with the white pencil as well, but I've just started. In the meanwhile I'm doing also a black&white realistic portrait and I think I'm gonna finish it first and then continue the coloured one.
I've just been on instagram and I see you upload more stuff there than here! Ok I'm definitely gonna follow you there as well, and btw the painting looks awesome!! It's so very colourful and shiny and cute, I'm sure your godchild is gonna love it ^_^
I've never used watercolours, but I've seen lots of painting done with those tools and I'm more and more curious to use them! I will try sooner or later
Yes I do use instagram, more for watching stuff than actually upload photos but I'm definitely there!
ps. sorry for the long poem here, I just realized it is so very long

Hi Aljuna! ^^
Yes, you can say that! I've been a gamer ever since I was a very little girl! I'm mainly into JRPG, survival-horror, platform games but actually I play pretty much everything but games like COD.
With studies what you mean... like university studies or my drawing studies? As for the fist, I've finished university on December so nothing new there As for my drawings I've stopped for a while actually, I've been on a short trip to Rome and I came back only yesterday, so no progress there as well
You're very welcome and thank you too for following me too on Instagram I have all those other accounts on other social network but I always forget to use them and end up only using DA, but I'm trying to be more present in Instagram! And by the way the new owl and the two candles are very beautiful
Take care!
Laura.

Hey hi Aljuna!
wow sure you're back! As I logged in I found like 20 new notifications!!
Well, actually I'm drawing a new fanart, I don't know if you've heard of or played "Life is Strange"? If not, try it, it's amazing!!! However, back to the point, I'm doing a fanart of one of the main characters, here's a sort of 'preview' -->

And I'm also working on a sci-fi/fantasy project of mine, but I haven't pubblished anything yet!
So, what about you, do you have some project? Something you're working on?
Wish you a good day!
Laura

Hey Laura!
yes, I am back.^^ But I was never really gone (more aktive on Instagram 
Well...I heared about 'Life is strange', but I never played this game. But it should be good, shouldn't it?^^.
What is the sci-fi/fantasy project about?
My projects..oh dear...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Watercolours!! I love them so much!!! ...but I suck at it, I've used them just a couple of times when I was a little girl but I'd love to learn how to use them properly!
Yeah you can say that, Life is strange is an awesome game that makes you care deeply for its characters.
As for my sci-fi project it actually is a story, and it would be awesome if I managed to create a whole artbook displaying that story!
It's called "Aetherys" and it's a futuristic dystopia: few groups of people are still alive and used as slaves, so most of them are in hiding. However this situation is not due to aliens/zombies/vampires, I swear! This all thing was caused by the people themselves, their blind behavior and their idea of their own superiority... and all that had to come to terms with the prospect of maybe not being top of the food chain... There are gonna be cyborgs and other sci-fi elements, but it isn't very much about that, it's more about how this situation reflects on the characters. Ok, that's the veeeeery short version and I know it's kinda confusing, but first I have to make things clear in my mind, then I can start to outline a definite plot :/
Good luck with your projects too, it seems like you're very busy drawing lately, loved you ink work!
