Description
*Tarrot gave me this gorgeous sketch of Becki a while ago and today I decided to colour her and give her a wonky map like background C:Those gems on her top and the sparkle in her eye are actually sticky jewels that I found in my drawer of magical art things I forgot I had. Hooray discovery 8D
Colours colours coloursssss

Baallllllllllllllls I will always love your colors. ALWAYS. They're so bright and just rainbowy and I love them. ;;
I know it's always a lot easier to color a picture that starts off with good lineart, and I can tell that Tarrot definitely gave you a great sketch to work with!
Also I really like that you used real sticky jewels on this. I love those so much, and they really make stuff pop. I know I'm guilty of using them too when I do traditional art, haha. they're so pretty ;=;

Very tropical! I want malibu now (well, if I wasn't off malibu, but you get the point). The sea looks so lovely and cyan and clean, and Becki so shiny! It's a really nice piece

Usage of real life gem stickers=win
<33 Have I ever told you how much I love it when you shade things with purple? *notcies her arms* And holey moley the water looks very spashable *w* I also adore your unique styles of hair: it's different(don't know how else to put it) but viewers can tell it's hair. AND DON'T GET ME STARTED ON THE GENIUS BACKGROUND MAP THING A MAP. SERIOUSLY. FRICKIN' GENIUS.
Before I considered you a master of coloring--I now consider you a master of creativity as well. :3

Daayum, your colouring is so bold and well blended, it's beautiful! ;_; I love the little hints of green and purple in the shading; what a nice little touch! <333
The map-background is so totally cool! <3 It really frames her nicely, and omg the details. THE DETAILS. The palm tree leaves look great, the ocean looks pretty and shimmery and hogeeze that SKY. Wowwww. <333 It's so lovely! Awesome job!
(And yay for using little jewels! I bet this looks uber pretty irl! o: )

Bristol board is my absolute favourite paper to work with. It's SO expensive though I only use it for special pictures 8D I'm not sure what paper Vikki did the sketch on, but it did take quite a few layers to get out the paper grain. I use WHSmith pads normally, but WHSmith are a UK brand, so I'm not sure of a US equivalent.. Hmm.
ANYWAY I don't think your pictures are grainy. HAVE SOME FAITH <333

TwilitTiger In reply to BecSparrow [2011-06-10 23:19:07 +0000 UTC]
I think mine's the crappy type, not to mention I think it's like, 2-ply so it's not very nice with anything wet either. <: The best bristol is probably Canson, so I'm going to guess that's your equivalent
POOR ARTIST NEEDS TO MAKE DO WITH WHAT SHE HAS.
FUU My art doesn't look grainy because I keep it at 600 max view. >_____>
Download it and you'll probably see the horridness LOL

If you viewed my stuff any higher you'd see the grain (and the places where I've been to lazy to reink my lineart lmao) <3
