Description
Sometimes you just need to sketch and make messy nothings and then throw some watercolor on them.I'm trying to find my voice, continuing my art-style-puberty.
Something about this felt right.

Thanks muchly- your opinion is always good to hear, especially since I really respect your work.
I've been itching to make a change and try something new for a while- and I'm really blessed and grateful to have found my watercolor set again

It's hard to find your own style, but I wouldn't mind if you continued in these sort of things, lots of colors, I always like that a lot

thanks! It's just a matter of trying to find something that feels honest- like it's close to expressing what I want to 'say' or show, and I feel like this is closer somehow

The experimenting and thinking out of the box really help I guess, but I can imagine it feels closer already. Keep up the good work

This looks almost like a portrait -- like this is a specific character or a real person. Very cool.

You make it sound like a hazardous chemical or something! I don't think there's a solvent for it, either...

I think the rightness is in how you matched the pose with the colors - at least that's what struck me. Anyways, I love how bold your watercolors are.

What a little cutie pie! I really am jealous of your watercolor work. Probably because I can't work with them at all, but none the less, seeing yours is always a treat. Thank you for posting

thank you- it's funny, a lot of people seem to be really adverse to watercolor- it just seems to be a matter of practice and what medium speaks to you!

Thank you- I like them too for that reason. I have to be able to deliver professionally polished work, but I really prefer making this when left to my own devices

Rockin' the watercolors I see. Great stuff.
I never quite got the hang of watercolors myself... maybe I should give it a try again sometime.

They can be tricky for sure- but I think they deserve a second chance!
