Beautifull watercoloring! how do you make th colors blend in so beautifully? and by the way, when you scanned this, what settings did you use??

I used the wet-on-wet technique here, which is achieved by putting down a layer of wet watercolor (yellow, for example) and applying another color around/over the wet area. The water itself blends the colors. Thank you!
And it was nearly two years ago when I scanned this, so I can't remember! ;.; Might have been 300DPI.

You are really, really good with colours. Seriously. I love the red yellow gradient, and the simple way you drew this. And the crosshatching as well. xP

I like the abstract qualities. It looks a bit like a children's book illustration, but with a fine arts flair thrown in.

My cheapo watercolor set claimed that it was red. xD I like the pink result, though.

I didn't have 'chubby' in mind, but okay.
I'm glad; my brain was seriously overloaded, especially at the beginning of the week (I didn't see you at all that day, but I was...continuously crying from about third to seventh hour. Wtf, hormones.). Eesh.

I love accenting warm schemes with blue. It's such a nice effect to look at. c:

For this picture, I was lazy and used a severely cheap-o set of those 'cake' ones. xD
When I actually feel like getting dirty, I use a weird off-shoot brand that I received as a gift a few years back, in the tube form. :B

I use a set of Talens cakepans... I also have some Winsor-Cotman cakepans, but they have such a weird...feel to them. o0 It's so bizarre.

Wolfyu In reply to Hyourin [2007-12-22 23:00:33 +0000 UTC]
Huh..I'll have to see if I can find either of those two brands. I don't watercolor often, so mine have lasted a looong time. :B

Hyourin In reply to Wolfyu [2007-12-23 14:12:22 +0000 UTC]
The Talens is nice; though I think it maybe they're a student brand. The Winsor pans though, they just have this plastic consistency and look to them.
