Description This is one long description so beware

Thanks to I have been rather productive art-wise during downtime at Dragon Con She not only kept pushing cold-press boards in my direction, but also encouraged me to use other art materials of her. Besides that, she inspired me to try something new, and as a result you can see this Prisma color, and watercolor piece.

I also should mention that sketched out the skulls for me, because I couldn't find reference on hand, and he's got some practice with it already

As you can see, I'm trying to stray from the red/blue color scheme a bit, and I'm excited about art again!

Your watercolour pieces are very lovely, I like the designs, one thing that strikes me though is that you do not let the colours blend much, which is a shame, because in watercolour there is so much potential for doing that and really working depth into the piece and make it so much stronger. Just a little feedback, hope it is helpful

Thank you for advice I will try that out next time I work with watercolors.

Here's a bit of an example of what I mean by blending the colours although this guy mainly works with landscape and scenery: [link]
I heard on one of the older the Podcast you got frustrated that you cannot do the same with watercolours as with digital but I definitely think you shouldn't let entirely go of watercolours although digital lets you do more, because you make some adorable illustrations in it Also traditional artwork just has a charm that digital can never really measure up too in my opinion at least I know quite a few people disagree with me on that though, heh.

I'm actually familiar with his work and have admired it for a while I think I just end up trying to control things too much as I work with watercolors

Also I agree with you on the charm of traditional work- that's main reason why I don't think I can even give up on it entirely.

I like blue and red together as well, but I'm trying to expand a little. I don't want my art to become boring Thank you very much for your comment, I'm glad that you like this image.

I think this is the most interesting take on unicorns I've seen in awhile. Also, I like it so that should say something XD

I was stuck with on what I wanted to draw, and Jess was complaining about purple unicorns. So I was joking that I'll draw a faerie wearing a head of one- and that's what came out. (though i guess it could be a mask too, it's a mystery )

Very nice, Ania. See how useful friends are?

The tree reminds me of something out of Stephanie Law's forests.
