Description
i scrapped my first ariel (aka first loish fanart), soi decided to color this onei'm planning on giving this pic to a friend of mine that is visiting us on sunday (easter!). i htink i've improved a lot using the media of watercolor, and i just really admire this friend. she's incredibly smart, a great leader, terribly nice, and she's a great artist too
btw, i know that ariel's dress is supposed to be pink. and also, *insert flaming of scanner here*. killed colors again ;_; but at least now i'm used to it. aaaaand as with all other ariel pics, dedicated to

Great coloring, of course... I tried to do watercolors like you today, and failed miserably XD At least you inspire me to press on
Beautiful ^_^

OMG. u should be inspired by better ppls, as in ppl who actually can watercolor, not me. but i'm still uber flattered X3. watercolors are my stressrelievers. i don't care so much if i "mess up" with them. they are just so free and flowy. you really should keep trying. it will be worth it, just that sense of satisfaction, even if the final product turns out horrible (and believe me, mine have turned out horrible b4).
thank you so much! <3 *hugglez* u're the best

Very whimsical and dreamy, like Ariel herself
I think your watercolour skills are very good myself and I can't wait to see how you improve.
I'm sure Loish will love this coloured version!

watercolors are my stress relievers. they work wonderfully, even though i have the crappiest paper ever (not even watercolor paper! )
i hope loish likes it she's my HERO!

Oof, pressed it too soon. x] Mmm... your watercolor skills are amazing. Actual water colors or the pencils? I've never been good with paintish products. :3
Who cares if it's supposed to be pink?! I thought it was supposed to be blue anyway :3 Green is much better~ goes well with her hair.

Crayola? That so looks better than crayola! You're skilled. :3 So freakishly skilled~
Well, true they're different in feel but I consider them like paints because you need to constantly wet a brush. :3
No problem!
