Description Imagination birthed from books...

This is one of the sketches I like enough to post seperately
Another drawing from My Sketchbook Project .
You can find the rest of it on my tumblr .

Yay, i started using watercolors. I hadn't really touched watercolours in years until now xD;;. a little rusty but still just as fun as I remembered. I think I took off most of my old watercolours off dA though .

 "Just because something is imaginary doesn't mean it is not real."   Imaginationland South Park

"I... Um... because I think... they are real. It's all real. Think about it. Haven't Luke Skywalker and Santa Claus affected your lives more than most real people in this room? 

I mean, whether Jesus is real or not, he... he's had a bigger impact on the world than any of us have. 
And the same could be said of Bugs Bunny and, a-and Superman and Harry Potter.  

They've changed my life, changed the way I act on the Earth. Doesn't that make them kind of "real."? 
They might be imaginary, but, but they're more important than most of us here. And they're all gonna be around long after we're dead. 

So in a way, those things are more realer than any of us."

Don't ask me how I stumbled across your artwork here, and then saw it randomly the next day on a totally different site.
Had to share.
Fast forward to 31:10 on the video.

May I ask how you use watercolours? As in, do you use a pen or pencil or paints to outline some parts? Do you use masking fluid or are you just incredibly neat? Eh, sorry ^^'

But this is absolutely beautiful~as is the rest of your work

Qinni In reply to xian-li [2013-05-16 19:14:40 +0000 UTC]

I use pencil to sketch, watercolour to paint and outline, if needed. The outline's just darker watercolour. I don't have masking fluid so this one's just done really really meticulously xD;;. plus the paper's so small (half the size of printing paper) masking fluid won't be that great anyways, as i wouldn't be able to find a small enough brush to apply it right.

and thanks

Enchanting and incredible - the use of colour is incredible - I am very envious of the gold colour you've achieved <3
Just magical and enchanting - I love love love this
Execution is incredible

{Question, my 'prussian blue' watercolour has been a bit dull lately {it may of course also be the paper dulling it ..it's not 'bright' white}- and as you have here, I also mix it with purple (which is so beautiful!) - but the more vibrant tones - perhaps coming out of the left hand side near the book - and up higher - it seems almost turquoise /teal /{greenish blue, kingfisher blue -- -I was wondering did you use another colour? [to mix with perhaps?] Or another blue colour?
The colours in this photo are just what I have been very lately trying to achieve - I'm not sure where I'm going wrong <3
I just want to stare at this forever, it's soo beautiful! xxx
The gold stars, fish, leaves, the whale are just so vibrant and stunning - and gorgeous! And your blue{s} starry night sky is just so starry and gorgeous - I love love love love love it! I love this concept so very much, thank you so much for letting us all see it and marvel at it's beauty xxxx

I love all your other sketches too! Their concepts and execution are just so beautiful, dazzling, peaceful and wistful - not to mention how incredibly magical they all are
I'm so glad I found you on here <3 xxxx xxxxxxx

Reminds me of when i read to my daughter when she was younger. i could almost see what she was imagining just like you have depicted here. vivid in color with that bit of whimsy that childhood tends to inject into our lives. never lose that.
