Have you ever wondered how falling stars are born?
Well, now you know.
Trying to put into use all the advice everyone gave me, and kind of failing miserably. 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.]

this is so different from the rest of your work. in a good way. like some of your pieces are scary because of the lack of context, with people on just white backgrounds, it makes me feel like i'm in the middle of nowhere. which is good in a way. but this has a completely different tone, and the blue is very pretty.

Unique and very interestingly done. Yay for watercolours!

Your line work is so delicate... it's a unique style to be certain, and your sense of overall composition is truly striking. Plus you draw your clouds kinda of the same way I do!

WOW. This piece is AMAZING! It's so neat to see your work like this! The colors are great, the darker tones add a whole different demension to it, and the idea to it is just..I want to say captivating but I'm not sure that's the right word!

Wow! Nice idea, nice colouring. Particulary luv her hair!
But actually I think that the mounth is a bit in a side. And the pose... Looks like shes gonna fall down.
In _my_ opinion.

I just don't like her face. She seems... kinda an evil witch or something...

I love it! I especially like her negative-space white hair. brilliant.

Yes, she's a little stiff but it;s still a lovely picture. You took the critiques to heart, so there is more color and movement than before. The colors on her dress are fabulous, and her white hair brings up the image of lightning to my eyes.

if watercolors don't have enough punch, try using gouache? it's opaque watercolor paint. resembles tempra when you apply it thick.

:S I don't really like gouaches, they're just too thick for my taste, I'm perfectly unable to make precise smooth things with them.

hmm...perhaps using an acrylic wash instead of a watercolor? they thin down rather nicely with water. other than that, i'm stumped.

Watercolour paper, Canson 300g/m².

hmm...don't know
I just got interested in watercolor, and I wanna use it in my artwork
know any brands of good paints, brushes, and paper? plus any tips? ^_^
Thanks, -Ogun

Well, as far as the paint itself goes, I use Daler-Rowney's, but I've been told that Winsor-Newton are better. As for brushes, I use Rafael ones, but honestly I can't see the difference between the different brands. As for paper, Arches is the best watercolour paper I've ever tried but it's quite expensive, so I usually use Canson. It's best to always use watercolour paper that will hold better with the paint.
Tips... I don't really have any, you just have to try and see how it works!
If you're used to coloring in any medium, it shouldn't be an issue, really. Watercolour isn't extremely hard to use, especially since if you mess up, you can swip it away while it's still drenched with a tissue.

Awesome, I love her stilts, and one stocking. XD
I think you did a great job on it on whole. I'm not too wild about the sky. It seems out of place to the rest of the style with the girl, the stars, and the clouds.
I remember doing something similar to your idea in middle school. It was during my obsessed yaoi days *shudder* So i made it an effeminate guy who had a ton of belts, and salad fingers. @_@

gorgeous - such a departure from your usual pallette, but it's really dynamic.
Love the linework, the virancy, the whimsy, and the texture.
Really nice work!
