Description (no, it's not spirited away wallpaper pack like I said before)

Hello!

Since there are people ask me how I do this or that in my painting. I decided to create a mini guide of the technique I use.

Hope it helpful to you all!
and feel free to share your opinion.

when you say color pencil,
are you talking about any type of color pencil? (as long as its a pencil with color?)

I want to thank you. I've had some trouble recently because I used to compare my drawings to the ones of others, but your words about "draw loosely" and perfection not being necessary - I will take them to heart. I feel a lot better now, and I want to try what you are suggesting!!

Raindropmemory In reply to Miyella [2010-07-27 03:11:49 +0000 UTC]

Nice!
But still, some people will critic that draw loosely means lack of quality, lack of details or determination.
You have to find what the best way to draw loosely, and not sacrifice the quality, and details.

Loved it .. the technique is great .. and it does give that kind of a coosy feeling .. but I was wondering what do you paint with ... it looks like colored with cryons like colors ... and some times it looks like colored with pencil colors !
