Have you ever wondered how falling stars are born?
Well, now you know.
I've tried to make something more dynamic, less static. A girl walking through the clouds and cutting off stars on her way, with a whole damn lot of wind.
I've also tried to work with colours I rarely use, blues. And tried to darken my shades, but it's hard - I'm starting to believe it's my watercolour that isn't pigmented enough. I'll buy a few new colours and see whether it's a problem with me or my paint.
Anyway, I must say I like this one enormously for some reason. She seems so happy. I've wanted to draw this picture for a long while, and it came out differently from what I expected, but in a good way for once.
The body is extremely elongated and exagerratedly slim on purpose. I like drawing those bodies.
The pose does look quite stiif and unnatural... but hey, so would you if you were walking on those things.
I hope you will like it.
[Made with Staedtler pigment liners, watercolours, liquid frisket, Tria markers, colour pencils, white paint.]

Brilliant. I love your use of colour and the elongated lines. The shoes are pretty fantastic as well.

Nice! How do you make the background? I mean: With that "fluffy"-effect?

I use watercolours, with loads of layers of slightly different colours and loads of water... and I also sprinkle salt on the paper, it absorbs the paint in some places and gives some nice texture effects.

The blues are really pretty, and the fact that her hair is just completely white works really well. You are very talented, especially with colouring. Favyes<3

I had to visit and stare at this again (at 3:40 in the morning) because I love it so much. I absolutely love the creativity in this idea and it's executed so well. Love it. This is one of the pieces where I wish I could favorite it several times over.

If that figure is unnatural, then I must be, since I have something similar.
Very pretty. I love the blues.
