Watercolors definitely have their charms and appear to be quite popular with several comics artists.
I haven't dabbled with them very much, myself, but I'm starting to consider it. I'll have to prepare an area in-which to use them, though, as I am a very messy person, outside of work.
I'm impressed by this picture of yours. It may be simple, but you still managed to imply shape and texture, elevation and distance.
Excellent job, my friend!

Thank you very much!
I may use watercolor in the future for my comic, if get used to it. Its a great medium for painting landscapes, and more abstract art. If you start I wish you good luck, and most importantly! Have fun.
By the way a question, have you tried to draw realistic once and detailed shading?

If you have fun with watercolor, then you'll want to use it more. If you use it more, you'll get used to it sooner.
And yes. I have tried realistic drawing.

Yes, I would use it more if im not such a lazy person.
I do like to draw but in the other hand, im too lazy to start.
I'm wondering do people have the same problem? It's not like I have no ideas what to draw, but more like a wall I have to overcome first, then I can immigrate. And its dangerous on the other side. I have no green card, the lazy police is everywhere if they find me they drag me out again. Or even worse, sending me into the jail of "no idea, what to draw" i'm damned, to stare into a white paper in front of me for all eternity!
The BIG question is, the core of the problem.., who paid the wall.
And to my question yesterday, just a little reminder drawing realistic is the best way to improve in any artstyle. If you know how to draw it realistic, then you also know how you can break it apart into a more simplistic stile. In my opinion.

That's a clever little analogy you have there.
And yes, drawing takes focus on the activity of drawing and most people (myself included) have many things on their minds, most of which are more urgent than artistic release. We know that, if we start drawing, that something might interrupt us or that we'll be shirking some kind of responsibility. We're nervous about embarking upon an art project as it might be left unfinished for a long time. If we never start, though, it'll be less than just unfinished. I don't like doing it this way, but it helps to work on drawings, little by little. I like to put the date that I started the drawing, somewhere on the sheet, to give myself a frame of reference, remind me of when I started so that I can recall what I was thinking, at the time. Sometimes the drawing all comes-together, at once, and can be drawn quite quickly. Most of the time, though, nope.
And yes, I agree with your opinion on realistic drawing. It helps to have a good idea of what it is you're trying to simplify, before you try to simplify it.
